I would replace the std::map with a switch statement in this case. Then
there is no need for an #ifndef.

and maybe because of "-Werror=sign-compare" ? or again this is hiding
something else that was cut off in the report...
The problem is that if we test an unsigned integer against a literal
integer value, then we a warning in the first test but not the second:

   unsigned int value = 1;
   BOOST_REQUIRE(value == 1); // No sign compare warning
   BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL(value, 1); // Sign compare warning

The quick fix is for all Boost.Test users to do:

   BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL(value, 1U);

but this is inconvenient if you do not know the signedness of the type,
e.g. when you use a size() member function on some container.
