... or this is not an ADL customization point. Calls to this function 
are always qualified. Calls to "foreach::adl_begin(t)" are equivalent to 
"using boost::begin; begin(t);" modulo some compiler work-arounds. It's 
an implementation detail (so it really should be in a detail namespace 
-- I'll fix that if I'm allowed to).
