Well others will want to comment on their expectations. The tipping point for me in the direction I suggest is that I found many instances in current Boost code where there was only reference to _MSC_VER, with the expectation that it would apply in both real and simulated modes. SO it's not translating the use of BOOST_MSVC that worries me, it's the translation of all the _MSC_VER uses. Should they be converted to BOOST_CXX_EMUALTED_MSVC or to BOOST_CXX_MSVC?

Aren't 99.9999% of those just checks around #pragma once ? What benefit does BOOST_CXX_EMUALTED_MSVC provide over _MSV_VER anyway given that the two will always be identical? John.
