This is a problem for Boost.Math, for example

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7087#comment:3

std::forward or std::move missing in Boost.Test on Darwin Clang

And also for Boost.Test

[Boost C++ Libraries] #5758: Boost.Test Floating-point comparison diagnostic output does not support
radix 10

where using std::numeric_limits<>::max_digits10 should be possible (and using
BOOST_NO_NUMERIC_LIMITS_LOWEST as a proxy doesn't work either).

So I would be very useful to get this resolved.
