Comment (by eric_niebler):

 I'll be honest with you, Michel. At this point, given the sheer size and
 complexity of your patch, and the number of broken compilers that half-
 implement C++11 that I need to support, and the past difficulties we
 experienced trying to get this fix to fly, it's looking highly doubtful
 that I'll be taking this patch. Especially considering that C++11 users
 have a better option: use C++11's range-based for. I can tell you've
 invested a lot of effort into this, and I greatly appreciate it.

 I would very much like to move {{{BOOST_FOREACH}}} into maintenance mode.
 It's a relic. I don't expect I'll be adding any new features to it.

 I'll leave the bog open for now and may reconsider. But for now, I
 wouldn't spend any more time on this if I were you.
