So do you think it's safe to remove the swap_adl_barrier namespace from 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/utility/swap.hpp now?  (See
attached patch)

I think it would make the code easier to read, especially now that we
know that swap_adl_barrier isn't really working as an ADL barrier.

There's quite a few ADL related bug reports already, at

I'll have a closer look later...

Good night,
