Comment (by eric_niebler):

 `NDEBUG` does what it is supposed to, except when
 `BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER` is defined. That's how it's supposed to
 work. If you are building with `NDEBUG` defined and you want assertions
 removed, then don't define `BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER`. Why would you,
 anyway?
