Comment:

 This is due to the "using range::sort" at the bottom of
 boost/range/algorithm/sort.hpp (fixing this also requires renaming uses of
 boost::sort to boost::range::sort).  It's causing namespace pollution by
 putting a function in the boost:: namespace, that's conflicting with the
 boost::sort library.  It's also a violation of this guideline:

 Neil Groves has agreed to look into it.
