A real boon would be the possibility to have string literals as template
parameters, so that one could write:

non_unique<tag<"name">,member<employee,std::string,&employee::name> >

but this is daydreaming AFAIK.
BTW, tags are optional, you can use numbers if you like it better.

First time this issue arose (that I know of) was in Boost.Tuple,
which uses namespace boost::tuples instead of the expected
boost::tuple, for the same reasons as here. If someone finally
finds a way out of this problem, I'd gladly drop the 's'.

I don't understand what you say about the file providing
more than one indexed_set. Care to explain?
