#4132: Use of "id" as a variable name makes Boost unusable in Objective-C++

     Type:  Patches               |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0          |   Component:  regex      
  Version:  Boost 1.42.0          |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:  Objective-C++         |  
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 I included a C++ object in an Objective-C++ file and compilation failed
 with "Expected primary-expression before..."  It turns out that two
 relevant files were using "id" as a variable name.  "id" is a keyword in
 Objective-C++.

 Changing the variable name to "idx" (which appears to be more descriptive
 of its use anyway) eliminated the error.

 Patch attached.
