Comment:

 I'm sorry. I think that I wrote this documentation with the expectation
 that I would be nice to provide it and I didn't it at all.

 I have take a look at the dependency and it will be quite complex to
 remove it for the next release. If I don't reach to remove the dependency
 for 1.52 I will remove this macro and state clearly that the dependency is
 needed.

 There is an alternative that is to define the Boost.System undocumented
 BOOST_ERROR_CODE_HEADER_ONLY macro, but this is yet bugged (See #7347
 duplicate symbol while BOOST_ERROR_CODE_HEADER_ONLY is defined).
