Yes it does!!! :-) Workaround "a" does the job! I tested locally, for msvc-9.0, msvc-7.1, and borland-5.82.

Do you think it would be okay to just apply workaround "a", as attached hereby? I mean, would it harm for other toolsets to have "using namespace std;" within the boost_swap_impl::swap_impl function?

I think it's ok. A using directive is just as correct as a using declaration, so it shouldn't break any of the more conformant compilers. I've tested it on gcc and como. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
