Description
Recent GCC versions (tested on `g++ (GCC) 15.2.1 20260123 (Red Hat 15.2.1-7)` on Fedora 43 with Boost 1.83, but should not differ from newer Boost versions), when compiling this minimal working example:
```
#include
#include
namespace py = boost::python;
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(Types) {
py::class_>("StringVector").def(py::vector_indexing_suite>());
}
```
with this command line: `g++ -shared -fPIC Types.cxx -Wextra -O2 -std=c++17 -I/usr/include/python3.14 -I/usr/include/boost -
lboost_python314 -lpython3.14`
throw `Wmaybe-uninitialized`:
```

This can be traced down to originating from this line in `indexing_suite.hpp`: https://github.com/boostorg/python/blob/105d64e8895ab893e5ac9e0380647d216c2cb8d9/include/boost/python/suite/indexing/detail/indexing_suite_detail.hpp#L678
Since this was not touched since Boost 1.83, I believe this to still be relevant. This seems unintentional and due to our project treating warnings as errors, for us this leads to a compile error.
