| It's true he made some excellent arguments in that thread, but this is a
| different argument. ;-) Once you accept as a given that we should be
| using an ADL customization point, what should we call it?
|
| In this message:

|
| You say: "You're much safer using boost_range_end or range_end if you're
| trying to keep it small.  I don't see any reason to keep it small,
| though: users won't be invoking that function directly."
|
| And I agree, it should be boost_range_end. We are in agreement. Now we
| just need to convince Thorsten. :-)

since we can't use the short version (ity clashes with range_size<TA)
then let's go with the boost prefix.

I'll commit shortly
