[Boost-build] inheriting variants

Hello guys,

Thank you for all your hard work. 

I have a question about inheriting variants.  I am using BBv2 cvs version

Jamfile snippet:

variant  HerRelease : release : <define>HER_RELEASE ;
variant  HisRelease : release : <define>HIS_RELEASE ;

project 
   : requirements
   <variant>release:<toolset>mvsc:,<define>/RTC1
   ;

I would expect when I compile with variant HerRelease and Microsoft I
would have /RTC1

Is this a bug?  Should I expect variants to inherit?  Obviously, I can
have the following duplication:

   <variant>HerRelease:<toolset>mvsc:,<define>/RTC1
   <variant>HisRelease:<toolset>mvsc:,<define>/RTC1

thanks,

Zhon
