So, please put pressure on Apple, and file the necessary bug reports. But each requirement that a library imposes loses a group of users. But please also consider "fixing" boost too.
I still haven't seen a concrete proposal as to exactly what a fix would be.
Sadly, I don't know of a better fix than the one you mentioned at the beginning of this thread--namely, that boost avoid using the names that vendors steal with macros in commonly included headers. I didn't like having to rename functions named check() in our code, but my users like it even less when things didn't work for them. (This was some time ago...I didn't look at the original bug report, and I don't know how many Apple headers still pull the offending header in indirectly).
