The first rule is 7.3.4/1: During unqualified name lookup, names appear as
if they were declared in the nearest enclosing namespace which contains
both the using-directive and the nominated namespace.

The second rule is 3.4.3.2/2: Given X::m ... let S be the set of all
declarations of m in X and the the transitive closure of all namespaces
nominated by using directives in X ...
So, for mpl::X, only mpl and mpl_ are searched, but not boost.
