#2454: Fusion - MSVC level 1 warnings
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  pbristow         |       Owner:  djowel

Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0     |   Component:  fusion  
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0     |    Severity:  Cosmetic
 Keywords:  fusion warnings  |  
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 I am seeing a far number of what MS regard as level 1 (most severe)
 warnings from various fusion files, for example:

 i:\trunk\boost/fusion/iterator/next.hpp(60) : warning C4180: qualifier
 applied to function type has no meaning; ignored
 i:\trunk\boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic/begin.hpp(64) : warning C4180:
 qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored
 i:\trunk\boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic/begin.hpp(71) : warning C4180:
 qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored
 i:\trunk\boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic/end.hpp(64) : warning C4180:
 qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored
 i:\trunk\boost/fusion/sequence/intrinsic/end.hpp(71) : warning C4180:
 qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored
 i:\trunk\boost/fusion/iterator/prior.hpp(60) : warning C4180: qualifier
 applied to function type has no meaning; ignored

 I doubt if it is worth changing/correcting the code, but users will be
 justifiably alarmed, especially if, as in my case, I am not explicitly
 using Fusion!

 However I am unclear how best to suppress these warnings, short of a lot
 of push'n'pop pragmas into a lot of files.  Is this not a problem on gcc?
