[[`BOOST_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYMBOL_VISIBILITY`][
Disables the effect of the BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT, BOOST_SYMBOL_IMPORT and BOOST_SYMBOL_VISIBLE macros,
in order to revert to the default compiler behaviour.
Note that this option should never be used if Boost libraries are being linking against dynamically,
or if you are building a shared library that exposes Boost types in its public API.
It is however advisable when statically-linking against Boost to prevent Boost symbols from leaking from the binary:
for instance because you are building a plug-in for a software which may itself use Boost which could cause
ODR conflicts.
