If all new libraries use lib_detail rather than detail, the problem just shifts, unless you mean <lib>_detail, where "<lib>" is replaced by the library name. Still, as I've shown, that simply mixes paradigms making it a little more surprising, I should think. If we can establish that pattern as desirable, then new libraries can adopt it and it will be expected, of course.
Don't forget you can always use locally-defined namespace aliases, e.g. namespace brd = boost::ratios::detail defined within boost::ratios, to avoid such collisions. -- BoostPro Computing * http://boostpro.com [Sent from coveted but awkward mobile device]
