 I tested your patch with Boost version 1.58 and 1.59, against Eigen 3.2.7
 and 3.3-beta1, and it totally fixes the problem, both for the small
 example above, and for my project at large.  I'm calling this problem
 solved.  Thanks John!

 Very good, thanks for pointing this macro out to me chtz!

 And thanks to all the generous developers who make free software possible.

 My conclusion: this bug is fixed, by any one of:

 * using 3.3-beta1 (or equivalent release) of Eigen,
 * patching Boost.Multiprecision with
 https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/commit/f57bd6b31a64787425ec891bd2ceb536c9036f72

 combined with the non-conforming using statements above, or
 * turning off expression templates.
