Two-phase name lookup.  "shape", by itself is a non-dependent name and
must be looked up at the time the template is parsed.  See
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/12725/ for a
fairly complete explanation.

That's not a patch; those are the complete files.  However, I'm sure
Ron can work with those.  If he doesn't respond in the next week,
Bjorn (the maintenance wizard) will get on his case.

It's informal, but normally, you have to contribute a library or a
significant amount of code.
