boost should have no output under maximum warning settings of compilers

Description

in most projects boost is used as an external library. but since most of it is in the headers, you have to make sure that boost itself is not producing any warning noise even at highest possible levels of warning settings under most of the compilers. namely, we regularly compile our project code with -Wall -Wextra. with these flags boost produces unbearable amounts of warning messages which totally drown out any possible issues within our code since nobody can really find our warnings in this haystack... can you please start doing your builds with higer warning settings and try to resolve them?

I can deal with specific issues, but a general ticket like this is never going to be addressed. Also, using -isystem instead of -I will disable warnings from Boost headers.
