I've tested the same program on Visual Studio 2008 and there is no
unnecessary spam in compiler output, only the proper warning is displayed. I
call it spam, because extra messages are completely unrelated to the warning
cause. I don't even use Boost in this program, just include a header!
Unfortunately, we cannot use VS 2008 it in our office.
