| I assume you have control over namespace A, thus you can add:

|        void f( const C& x )
|        {
|           detail::f( x );
|        }

Not really since A would be namespace boost. I tried the stuff out with the range library,
but it would affect all Ranges in boost, ie, tokenizer, sub_range, iterator_range and more.
