The problem is that non-MSVC users can write code that won't compile
on MSVC.
for (int i=0; i < 10; ++i)
{
}
for (int i=0; i < 20; ++i)
{
}
However, I don't like the fix and would hate to see it forced on me
by Boost. I think it's better to just avoid this, and fix any bugs
when they are discovered.
