Summary: Compiling problems with MSVC++ 7

Initial Comment:
hello 
VC++ will not compile the following code with the
newest version of the regex library whereas it would
with the previous version (g++ 3.2.2 does not have a
problem with it).

#include <locale>
using namespace std;
#include <boost/regex.hpp>

int main (int argc, char **argv) { return 0; }

The error produced is:

regbase.hpp(120) : error C2955: 'std::collate' : use of
class template requires template argument list

The offending line of code is inside an enumeration
declaration and looks like this:

collate = ::boost::regbase::collate,

It seems that VC++ cannot resolve the difference
between the enumeration constant and the STL collate
class.  The same error can be produced with the
following code (or anything like it).

#include <vector>
using namespace std;
enum SomeEnum {  vector = 0  };

int main (int argc, char **argv) { return 0; }

I cannot think of a good way around this short of
changing the collate constant name and re-building. 
The examples are boiled down and it would not be
possible for me to change the order of the includes nor
would it be easy  remove the using delcaration.
