I wonder why the Bind placeholders are in the global namespace?
It's an historical artifact which has never been fixed.
Are you implying that it could/should be fixed?
Well, at least there is a ticket for that: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2240
FWIW, std::bind has its placeholders in std::placeholders namespace.

I suspect all of us have been bitten by this at least once. Would a patch be welcome to resolve it or would it break too many historical artifacts with the change?
Also cross posting to boost developers. The ticket is owned by Peter D., but does anyone mind if I submit a patch for this? It would be a very breaking change I think. Should the previous behaviour be maintained via an #ifdef, eg #ifdef BOOST_UNSCOPED_PLACEHOLDERS - Rob.
