Thanks, seems to work.

On the topic of fixing the issue reported: I realize that is_chained_base is actually a PITA when you try to add another namespace around the operator templates. I’ll have to think of a solution. Just a heads up for others: is_chained_base was placed in ::boost, not ::boost::detail. I assume this is an oversight as the documentation does not mention it and a comment in the source is implying that it should actually should have been placed in ::boost::detail. If anyone ever used it as part of the public interface, please speak up now! :)
