That's the thing, I don't think it is: remember that Boost.TR1 is really 
just a bunch of using-directives that pull the boost:: code into std::tr1::, 
the only difference really is that the boost:: namespace may contain some 
additional features that aren't in the TR.  But if that's an issue, you 
could just as easily cut and paste the using directives into your own 
namespace.
