Re: [boost] [swap] How to fix ADL barrier for XL, Intel, GCC, Sun and Como?

The 'barrier' namespace is only referred to in the two places Niels listed:

'test_adl_barrier.cpp' tests that boost::swap isn't ambiguous when
called on types declared in namespace boost - so we can rename it
'boost_type_ambiguity.cpp', or something similar. The comment inside
the test file can be altered accordingly as well.

'swap.html' contains the phrase ''for the idea to use a barrier
namespace, enabling the function to have the name 'swap' without
introducing ambiguity or infinite recursion". We can just replace that
with ''for the idea to make boost::swap less specialized than
std::swap, thereby allowing the function to have the name 'swap'
without introducing ambiguity."

If nobody objects to the phrasing, I'll make the change later today.

Joe.
