There are times when eminently sensible suggestions (like yours and mine) are not the best thing to do.

I agree that the benefit isn't worth causing downstream trouble.

But I would still like some warning in the documentation. I've written notes-to-self:

I am all for helping you there. My question is: where should I put this warning? It is not clear to me if you expect this warning in the doc, and if so, which section of the doc.

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/utf_refe... Doesn't make clear to me what the default level is 'out of the box'? And perhaps warn on other page that it isn't output at the default log level. https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/utf_refe... should also suggest that running with --log_level="message2 is required to get this to actually output anything. https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/test_out... and this too. (I am ashamed to report that I did not follow my own injunction to use hyperlinks to get to this page ☹ As they say, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"). I also didn't find that #define BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL message ort "message" had the desired effect. Many people might expect this (and consider it desirable to force the messages out. Thanks HTH Paul
