Comment (by johnmaddock):

 I'm quite happy to add min/max to boost::multiprecision namespace, I
 didn't because my gut feeling was that folks wouldn't be relying on ADL to
 find those (why would they?  The std:: ones are perfectly satisfactory).
 And as you say, for compilers that that define min/max as macros, the
 needed ()'s break ADL lookup.

 I'm curious, what's the other mechanism you used in this case?
