Comment(by anonymous):

 I don't believe that marking the whole header as a system_header is a good
 long term idea.  It will potentially hide real errors that are introduced
 at a later stage.  At the very least, make the #pragma conditional on
 something (new) like BOOST_NOT_SYSTEM_HEADERS, and ideally have some way
 in which the maintainer builds will define it.  (This "issue" with the
 system_header was discussed on boost-dev, btw.)

 Don't get me wrong, I get annoyed by this particular warning, but I think
 unconditionally making any boost header a system header is a risky move.
