Comment (by anonymous):

 Note from boost foreach 1.52 documentation:
 {{{
 I discourage this. It leads to name conflicts within the BOOST_FOREACH
 macro itself, where foreach is the name of a namespace
 }}}

 Why can't you simply rename the boost::foreach namespace into something
 different? These changes would be much smaller than forcing the users of
 boost to rename their foreach macros in thousands of source files.
