[Boost-users] [range] Conflict with string algorithms

I noticed there is a conflict between boost range and the string 
algorithm header files. There may be others, but the specific one I was 
dealing with was boost::find.

For example, the following code results in an ambiguous warning. This is 
because boost::find is defined both in algorithm/string/find.hpp and 
range/algorithm/find.hpp.

#include <vector>
#include <boost/range/algorithm.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>

int main()
{
 Â Â Â  std::vector<int>Â Â Â  vec;
 Â Â Â  boost::find(vec, 3);
}

Is this intentional or is it is an oversight or am I just doing 
something wrong?
