This concerns all boost developers. Please read!

* If you want to call std::min() or std::max():

o Use (std::min)(a,b) if you do not require argument-dependent look-up. o Use boost::std_min(a,b) if you do require argument-dependent look-up. boost::std_min() delegates to std::min().

I do not get it. IIUC ADL does not apply to a qualified name. I.e. std::min is just std::min and that's it. ?? Thomas
