(On that note, it's generally a good idea to use (f)(x) or xint::f(x) instead of f(x) unless you intend f to be a customization point). Sorry, you lost me. Would all function calls need that?
Only calls to free functions.
If not, which ones is it limited to?
Basically, this disables argument dependent lookup, so it should be used whenever ADL would be triggered and you do not explicitly want ADL. Looking through you code again, I think I was a bit hasty in suggesting this. I didn't see any cases where it would actually be important, because your functions all take your own types. Even if you get an extra overload from a user's namespace, your overloads should always be a better match. I still think that it's better to block ADL whenever possible, but in practice, I don't do so consistently, and most people don't worry about it. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
