//  MACRO:         BOOST_FUNCTION_SCOPE_USING_DECLARATION_BREAKS_ADL
//  TITLE:         broken ADL
//  DESCRIPTION:   Using declarations break argument dependent lookup
//                 (probably Borland specific), the fix is to use
//                 using namespace whatever; rather than
//                 using whatever::symbol;.
