Since when? The way I designed BOOST_NO_OPERATORS_IN_NAMESPACE to work,
usage should be transparent for all users. In fact, it looks like the
BOOST_NO_OPERATORS_IN_NAMESPACE case above is the way I originally designed
it to work. So, couldn't all users portably rely on that technique (member
operators?)
