All the macros that the serialization library defined are assumed to
be invoked from the global namespace.  Invoking them from any
other namespace will fail.

  If I nest macro calls such as:

  namespace SomeNamespace
  {
     BOOST_SERIALIZATION_ASSUME_ABSTRACT(SomeClass)
     BOOST_CLASS_TYPE_INFO(SomeClass, extended_type_info_no_rtti<SomeClass>)
     BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(SomeClass)
  }

  inside the namespace containing the type I get a TON of compiler errors. The wackiest is that the compiler thinks boost is a namespace inside of my namespace. Things improve (not fully tested) if I move the macros outside of my namespace and qualify the type with namespace name:

  BOOST_SERIALIZATION_ASSUME_ABSTRACT(SomeNamespace::SomeClass)
  BOOST_CLASS_TYPE_INFO(SomeNamespace::SomeClass, extended_type_info_no_rtti<SomeNamespace::SomeClass>)
  BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(SomeNamespace::SomeClass)

  Can someone explain please?

  Thanks
