Re: [boost] [detail][lightweight_test.hpp] Proposal to add BOOST_TEST_THROWS to boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp

Another option is to define the macro empty if BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined, as the throwing expression would surely call a user defined abort mechanism (BOOST_ASSERT or similar) when BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined. Or the user should protect BOOST_TEST_THROWS calls with #ifndef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS macros.

Both look sensible. As the user of the macro, what would you prefer? I'd think that in a BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS environment it's better to remove the test so that the rest could still be run. We don't actually test in such an environment so the question is a bit moot though.
