Note that this section is talking about associated namespaces, aka 
Argument Dependent Lookup.  What
the reference to the template instantiation context means, is that the 
compiler will find the declarations
of functions *From namespaces associated with the argument types* as long
as those declarations exist either

a) At the point when the template is defined.
b) At the point the template is instantiated.

Although in practice (b) is a superset of (a), in theory these two
sets of declarations are distinct because of export.
