It seems that the complaint is that its applying to code outside the namespace boost_132.
Is my understanding of the scope of using directives wrong, or is this a compiler error? As said in the Trac ticket, this is a compiler bug
Then the question arises as to how it should be addressed. I don't see how the workaround for the borland compiler applies here. I do not know if this is best fix but it solved our problem and it was not too much effeot. I do not know your original intension for the Borland compiler #if but it seems Borland has the same namespace issue from looking at the code -- and that's why I proposed simply extending the #if condition to VC8 (looks like VC7.1 has the bug too from Johan's report)
What I wanted to avoid was going through the code line by line. There are only a few places that need the patch (and you already did that for Borland)
