The 'barrier' namespace is only referred to in the two places Niels listed:
'test_adl_barrier.cpp' tests that boost::swap isn't ambiguous when called on types declared in namespace boost - so we can rename it 'boost_type_ambiguity.cpp', or something similar. The comment inside the test file can be altered accordingly as well.
'swap.html' contains the phrase ''for the idea to use a barrier namespace, enabling the function to have the name 'swap' without introducing ambiguity or infinite recursion". We can just replace that with ''for the idea to make boost::swap less specialized than std::swap, thereby allowing the function to have the name 'swap' without introducing ambiguity."
If nobody objects to the phrasing, I'll make the change later today.
Your suggested file renaming and rephrasing look just fine to me. So please go ahead :-) Kind regards, Niels
