----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 If there's a formatter to print errors like Xcode uses, then a script
 could call a unit test with this formatter during the build stage and any
 problems can be traced to the problematic line in the Xcode IDE.  This
 idea came from Richard Dingwall's blog entry
 "[http://richarddingwall.name/2008/06/01/using-the-boost-unit-test-

 framework-with-xcode-3/ Using the Boost Unit Test Framework with Xcode
 3]."

 Maybe it could be a default for Xcode systems, although that would break
 backwards compatibility.  I think `__APPLE_CC__` is defined in the
 preprocessor when Xcode (or at least Apple's custom GCC) is used.

 I [changeset:46924 recently made an example] to see if it worked and for
 my own testing.
