No, it's not what I meant. I wasn't suggesting undef'ing once and for all these macros. Since there is a suffix header, they could be restored. Or is it impossible to do with basic preprocessing?
Saving and restoring macros cannot be done with standard preprocessing, unfortunately.
and now use interval_min instead of min everywhere. Perhaps we can do this once and call it boost_min, so everybody can use it. Opinions?
Seems fine.
Was that a vote in favor of an interval_min function, or a boost-wide utility? If we want a boost-wide utility (a good thing to have, IMO), what should it be called? boost::boost_min (kind of repetitive)? or perhaps boost::dependent_min to emphasize the fact that is uses Koenig lookup? Or just boost::min_?
In fact, it would be a bit more complex since min and max are not always in the std namespace, they can also be in the root namespace (even if they should not). The Interval library tests which compiler and standard library are used in order to find the correct namespace. But it's only a minor detail.
