Please give me an example of an algorithm, that can be threated differently for strings and for containers. If there would be something like that (I don't see any), than is would make sense to use different names, rather then just different namespace. Otherwise, a user can get quite confused.
The problem arise if there is, let's say, four versions of a particular algorithm. Two works on iterators and two works on containers and there might be other arguments too. It certainly clashes in the container algos so that we can't have unqualified calls but must use boost::XX and std::XX. br Thorsten
