Pointed out here: #30739 (review).
Compiling with Clang 18 and Boost 1.74.0 fails:

The same failure does not happen with GCC (12), but may do with later versions: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31331.

Given our documentation currently claims that Boost 1.73.0 is supported, this should be fixed in some way, the documentation updated to drop support for this version, etc. Although, it looks like part of the fix for the Boost code only landed as of 1.86.0? boostorg/mpl#69 (currently the latest release).
