[Boost-users] naming a test

boost/libs/test/example/external_main_example_1.cpp provides an
example of a dynamical test suite tree. The invocation of 
  add( BOOST_TEST_CASE(boost::bind(&free_test_function, 1, 1)));
results in unpleasant names like
  "boost::bind( &free_test_function, 1, 2 )"

. I used the preprocessor output to override the 2nd arg to
make_test_case with a name of my choosing:
    ts->add(boost::unit_test::make_test_case
            (boost::unit_test::callback0<>
             (boost::bind( &free_test_function, 1, 2)),
             boost::unit_test::const_string( minor, 1)));

This works (pretty names and invocable with the logical run_test) but
I have no particular confidence that this will survive version changes
as well as would BOOST_TEST_CASE. Is there a better way to do this?

(stand-alone example attached)
