As it is, it is in the global namespace.  For GCC we define
BOOST_NO_OPERATORS_IN_NAMESPACE so the condition 

#if !defined(BOOST_NO_OPERATORS_IN_NAMESPACE) 
     && !defined(BOOST_NO_USING_TEMPLATE)
namespace boost
...

evaluates to false so operators and operators2 are NOT in boost.

There are two instances of BOOST_NO_USING_TEMPLATE and neither do
anything useful - the expression will already have been evaluated to 
false before BOOST_NO_USING_TEMPLATE is considered, so I think we 
should just remove it.
