Research direction

Start with boost/range/algorithm_ext/insert.hpp and compare the source-distribution version with commit 474c62ab16e72153535883fd83c78dab62fc7967. Check how the 1.67 source archive is assembled and verify that the corrected file is included; done means the distributed file no longer has the reported missing return.

Description

The version of the boost/range/algorithm_ext/insert.hpp file that is included with the source distribution downloaded from the main boost download page still has the return bug that was apparently fixed many years ago in this commit: 474c62ab16e72153535883fd83c78dab62fc7967.
