[Boost-users] astar using namespace

I've removed the using namespace boost from the astar graph cities
example. (I prefer to define namespaces explicitly).

//using namespace boost;

I've added boost:: to all the type names and it all compiles fine.

However, some functions compile without the namespace. ie the following line:

WeightMap weightmap = get(boost::edge_weight, g);

Can someone please explain why I dont need a boost:: infront of the get?
