 Sorry, I still don't get it. How can I create an array-swap patch for the
 trunk if "swap" itself isn't yet in the trunk?

 Isn't it easier to just apply the patch to the sandbox, beforehand?  So
 shall I apply the patch to the sandbox?

 Okay, let's have it as separate suite!  Especially because I would like to
 have new boost::swap_ranges and boost::iter_swap functions added to a
 future version of boost/swap, which would need extra tests, of course...
