I don't like the name of the function, as std_min doesn't hint me about the ADL-nature of the call. Would adl_std_min be too much typing? Or propbably just adl_min, as it's quite common to use std::min if ADL doesn't find a better match. My $.02.
Looks to me as though boost::min_ is the best name for this thing. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
