 I have confirmed with Intel the behaviour of C++ Composer XE's behaviour
 with respect to how it manages C++0x features it supports which VS 2010
 SP1 doesn't support. You can read about it here: http://software.intel.com

 In a nutshell, Intel partially supports strongly typed enums while
 Microsoft doesn't (at least not c++0x syntax). However in
 boost/config/compiler/intel.hpp, it assumes that Intel and MS supports the
 exact same c++0x language features.

 I have just checked the trunk, and the line indicating support for scoped
 enums (L212) has been commented out. However, boost can compile correctly
 if /Qstd=c++0x is specified and that line is not commented. It might be a
 small thing, but it is good if this can be fixed.
