 problem came up when BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION was redefined by the authors of
 Boost Exception and surprised a lot of us with bloat code and other
 problems.

 There is a patch for BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION that reduces code bloat #6450
 [[BR]]
 Support for noexception build is really required, because such builds are
 widely used on embedded platforms and are part of C++ corporate style in
 some organizations.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 I would advise to use {{{BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION}}} instead of
 {{{boost::throw_exception}}}, because it gives better control to user,
 better debugging abilities and is meant to be used in all libraries.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 This is a very popular bug and a lot of users want it fixed! It is
 duplicated in tickets #5076, #5393, #5800.[[BR]]

 Please, fix it till 1.50 release or allow me to fix it (it is a trivial
 bug).
