Re: [boost] possible conflict with new mpl

I might be wrong, but this error was not there before the change of the mpl. If you have a look into the code, the errors are shown at std::distance<> with explicit type specification. I assumed, that there migh be a conflict with mpl::distance.

This is a compiler bug. Once a class template named distance<> has been introduced at any context, the VC6/7 parser interprets distance< as referring to a class template. This is part of the "implicit typename" heuristic.
