ADL is going to get "fixed" by concept support, and not by Herb's
idea, FWIW.  Just my opinion, but well-founded and I have no time to
go into details now (sorry).  So if you think the shape of C++0x
should be a factor in this discussion, you should be thinking about
how all this relates to the concepts proposals.
