Comment (by bret.kuhns):

 +1 this is very frustrating and requires a lot of disambiguation for
 something that should have always been in its own namespace to avoid these
 problems. Even better, argument-dependent lookup causes the boost
 placeholders in the inlined namespace to pull boost::bind as resolution
 candidate even though `using namespace boost;` never appears in my project
 (I do use the `std` namespace, however).

 This is nasty, and confusing.
