#12250: Drop ancient compilers without SFINAE and simplify boost::variant
--------------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  apolukhin     |      Owner:  apolukhin
     Type:  Tasks         |     Status:  new
Milestone:  Boost 1.62.0  |  Component:  variant
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0  |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                |
--------------------------+-----------------------
 Those compilers are __MWERKS__ <= 0x3201. Have not seen those compilers
 for 5 years in regression testings, chances that boost::variant still
 works on them are close to 0.

 Dropping those compilers will allow to refactor boost::variant, simplify
 code and make it closer to proposed std::variant without affecting
 existing code.
