Comment (by ookami1@…):

 Hold on a second here. This cannot be applied unmodified without breaking
 other code.

 If I was to design the preprocessor code from scratch, I would start
 looping indices from 0, as this would simplify their handling in several
 places. Unfortunately, there is already code out there, that expects them
 starting from 1, so BOOST_PP_FOR must not shift the start index to 0, as
 suggested by the patch. I'll come back to this, once I have some spare
 time again.
