+//  This file exists to turn off some overly-pedantic warning emitted
+//  by certain compilers.  You should include this header only in:
+//
+//  * A test case, before any other headers, or,
+//  * A library source file before any other headers.
+//
+//  IT SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED BY ANY BOOST HEADER.
+//
+//  YOU SHOULD NOT INCLUDE IT IF YOU CAN REASONABLY FIX THE WARNING.
+//
+//  The only warnings disabled here are those that are:
+//
+//  * Quite unreasonably pedantic.
+//  * Generally only emitted by a single compiler.
+//  * Can't easily be fixed: for example if the vendors own std lib 
+//    code emits these warnings!
+//
+//  Note that THIS HEADER MUST NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER HEADERS:
+//  not even std library ones!  Doing so may turn the warning
+//  off too late to be of any use.  For example the VC++ C4996
+//  warning can be emitted from <iosfwd> if that header is included
+//  before or by this one :-(
