One major downside to that course is that some implementations cause 
the equivalent of "using namespace std;" if you #include even _one_ 
such header.

I don't know if we really have a problem here. The unqualified name 
was selected with an #ifdef which only applies to one of the 
compilers we're supporting, that I know of. Maybe we should just 
change the #ifdef to
#if BOOST_MSVC && BOOST_MSVC <= 1200
