Thanks for the answer, Gennadiy.  While I could wrap it with another
layer, it'll be great if it's a built-in feature, so that I won't copy
some additional code around while using boost.test, esp. that these days
I started every little project with these 2 lines:
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE my
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> 

Is this decision out of convenience or any implementation obstacle.
Specifically, what would be the problems if std::basic_ostream<Ch> is
used instead?
