no apology needed; it's good to discuss things.

I am myself irritated by the need to say

using namespace boost;
some_range_fun( r );

if nothing else, then because it is not super portable in itself.

My suggestion have been to allow

boost::some_range_fun(r);

to support ADL via the requirement that users implement

adl_some_range_fun(r);

Can you confirm that this would remove the present problems with gcc?

If so, I will propose this on the developer list and make it part of 1.33
