If you never need to use boost's nil in your own code, you can carefully order
your includes so the boost headers are always first.
#include <boost/header-that-uses-nil.h> // uses nil
#include <Foundation/Foundation.h> // #defines nil but doesn't affect the
boost header
NSObject *o = nil; // uses objc's nil
If you do need to use boost's nil in your own code, you can use macro tricks to
rename their nil.
#define nil boost_nil
#include <boost/header-that-uses-nil.h>
#undef nil
#include <Foundation/Foundation.h>
// now you have objc's nil and boost::boost_nil
