Re: [Boost-users] bgl question: in which namespace to put the functions

Hi Andreas,

You can put the functions in CGAL, and they will be found
via C++'s rules for argument dependent lookup.

Cheers,
Jeremy

P.S. There's been lots of debates about this, but back when
we were designing the BGL, this is what we decided on.
