Question4: This technique that triggers intentional ADL is famous? What do they call? Who is the inventor? Should I call "Ramey Lookup"?
I think I may have invented the technique you're showing.
I call it "Abrahams Lookup" :-)
It's not original enough to warrant putting my name on it, and it isn't good enough for me to be proud of. So maybe "MB Lookup?"
I'm proud...
I thought the combination of your Lookup and Ramey Trick could workaround broken compilers without users' burden. But Boost.Range has metafunctions that require 'class template partial specialization'. I have missed the point. I admit that the combination is not generalized enough to bear with the extra parameter.

I am maybe a culprit that cares portability too much. My idea came from the complaint that it was difficult to customize types for Range in the case of broken compilers. I want to port some algorithms of range_ex to broken compilers. When I do, I will use 'my' Lookup and Ramey Trick. Regards, MB http://p-stade.sourceforge.net/
