Milestone:  To Be Determined                |  Component:  Documentation
  Version:  Boost 1.63.0                    |   Severity:  Optimization
 Keywords:  thread_specific_ptr             |

 thread_specific_ptr documentation says

 ''Though compilers often provide this facility in the form of extensions
 to the declaration syntax (such as _declspec(thread) or thread annotations
 on static or namespace-scope variable declarations), such support is non-
 portable, and is often limited in some way, such as only supporting POD
 types.''

 Now as we have portable '''thread_local''' in current compilers, it should
 be prefered to use '''thread_local''', since thread_specific_ptr has known
 performance limitation.
