   Au contraire. Warning Level 4 is just basically unusable. If you have   
   even one piece of legacy code, it's sure to create lots and lots of   
   useless false positives, where you're not even sure how to begin to   
   resolve them.   
      
   I think many Boost headers are also *not* W4 level clean, but I might be   
   wrong. (I'm actually not even sure about the Windows or MFC headers and   
   W4 ...)   
      
   There are a couple of useful W4 warnings, but enabling all seems to   
   create more work'n it's worth.
