// broken preprocessor in MWCW 8.3 and earlier.
//
// The basic mechanism works as follows:
// (symbol test) + 1 => 2 if the test passes, 1 otherwise
// 1 % ((symbol test) + 1) => 1 if the test passes, 0 otherwise
// (symbol test) + 1 => if (symbol test) then 2 else 1
// 1 % ((symbol test) + 1) => if (symbol test) then 1 else 0
//
// The complication with % is for cooperation with BOOST_TESTED_AT().
// When "test" is BOOST_TESTED_AT(x) and
// BOOST_DETECT_OUTDATED_WORKAROUNDS is #defined,
//
// symbol test => if symbol <= x then 1 else -1
// (symbol test) + 1 => if symbol <= x then 2 else 0
// 1 % ((symbol test) + 1) => if symbol <= x then 1 else divide-by-zero
// symbol test => if (symbol <= x) then 1 else -1
// (symbol test) + 1 => if (symbol <= x) then 2 else 0
// 1 % ((symbol test) + 1) => if (symbol <= x) then 1 else divide-by-zero
