This bit was included in Boost 1.48 for reasons explained at

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5741

I think it is extremely unfortunate that Boost.Foreach advises
people to #define foreach when this is an internal name of
the library. Sorry about this, I don't think I can do anything to
solve it from Boost.MultiIndex.
