Sorry to be glib, but I really can't get too worked up over this.  
This is why we have namespaces.  If you erase the namespace boundaries,
collisions happen.  Should anyone be surprised that names in Boost, a
library collection specifically aimed at standardization, eventually
match some of those in std::?
