Nobody will slap you in the wrist for filing a bug report that ends
closed as INVALID :-) Right now, possibly you are the individual with
more knowledge about this issue on the whole Clang community, so you
will need to explain how and where this issue was discovered, and why
changing Clang handling of that code would be helpful for the Boost
library writers. With all that information the developers will judge if
a change makes sense and is feasible. So please go ahead and file the
bug report if you wish to see the problem fixed.

Good. And please don't hesitate about filing bugs when you think that
doing so *might* be appropiate. No need to be 100% sure.

And please note that suggesting improvements is another use of the bug
database.

You're welcome.
