Just committed  :-)

Should we refer to your technique (making sure that std::swap is more
specialized than boost::swap) as an "ADL barrier" as well?  Or is a
different term more appropriate?  Is it a known C++ "idiom"? 

I'm asking because the term "barrier namespace" still needs to be
replaced by something else, at two places within the documentation:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/utility/swap.html
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/utility/swap/test/test_adl_barrier.cpp

Kind regards, Niels
