Description
I am using 1_66. I have two header files in two different libraries which work fine on their own, but when including both headers at once I get a compile error (with clang and msvc). A small example is given by the following code
test.cpp:
```
// first header file
#include
#include
#include
/* ... */
typedef boost::accumulators::accumulator_set<
double, boost::accumulators::stats, double>
accumulator_set;
accumulator_set acc_;
/* ... */
// second header file
#include
/* ... */
```
Compiling this code with `clang++ -c test.cpp` yields
```

Research direction
Start with the minimal test.cpp example and compile it using clang++ -c test.cpp, then inspect boost/accumulators/statistics.hpp, statistics/kurtosis.hpp, and framework/depends_on.hpp around the reported lines. Done means the two header sets can be included together without the explicit-specialization-after-instantiation error on clang and MSVC.
