Re: [boost] Another patch for long long in gcc -std=c++98

Since I do not want to use -pedantic but not specify -Wno-longlong--I really do want the 'pedantic' warnings with unadorned extensions like long long warned--it is likely that I (and perhaps many other people who use GCC) will retain something like this patch locally if it is deemed inappropriate for Boost. This would be unfortunate.

How about something like: BOOST_EXTENSION(x) which expands to "__extension__ x" on gcc and "x" otherwise? Then we can use BOOST_EXTENSION(long long) where necessary. Thoughts? John.
