#8888: [python] GCC 4.8+ warns about unused local typedef

Milestone:  To Be Determined           |  Component:  Python
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0               |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                             |
---------------------------------------+---------------------
 During the build of Boost, GCC warns about several unused typedefs in
 Boost.Python.  There are many of these that seem like they should be
 converted to BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT, like this one for example.
 {{{
 ./boost/python/cast.hpp:73:20: warning: typedef 'must_be_a_complete_type'
 locally defined but not used [-Wunused-local-typedefs]
        typedef char must_be_a_complete_type[sizeof(T)];
 }}}
 There's at least one other instance of this problem that I know of.  Shall
 I prepare a patch for this, or is this undesirable for some reason?

 In the mean time, I'm attaching a patch for another one.
