[boost] Don't do that! I won't... but why?

Hi everybody,

that's the usual trivial question I ask every now and then. The docs
for the BOOST_NO_LIMITS macro state (emphasis mine):

    **Never check for this symbol in library code**; always
    include <boost/limits.hpp>, which guarantees to provide
    std::numeric_limits.

Why?

Genny.
