I have transplanted the advance/next/prev/distance member functions into 
ADL non-member functions in a current unreleased version of colony 
(plflib.org). My question is whether MSVC2013 support for these 
functions is more important to the boost community than them being ADL. 
There's a bug in MSVC2013 (fixed in MSVC2015, never backported to 
MSVC2013) that causes a compiler crash under certain template 
configurations - unfortunately the way that the ADL has to be 
implemented (I have tried several methods) causes this bug.

The workaround would be to disable these functions in MSVC2013 only, as 
everything works fine in MSVC2010, MSVC2015, Clang 3.6-3.8 (have not 
tested earlier) and GCC 4.6-5.1 (have not tested earlier).
