"any" suggestion

I strongly suggest that we avoid using-directives, not only in code but also
(especially?) in documentation and instructional texts, where their use and
implicit use amounts to endorsement. In these examples, it would be easy to
change:

    using namespace std;
    using namespace boost;

into

    using std::list;
    using boost::any;

wouldn't it? It's even shorter! ;-)
