Check it out, I can't get the following program to compile, even with
-Qoption,c,--arg_dep_lookup:
namespace ns1
{
  class X{};
  int swap(X&, X&);
}
namespace ns2
{
  template <class T>
  void swap(T&, T&);
}
int main()
{
    ns1::X x;
    using ns2::swap;
    int y = swap(x,x);
}
Shouldn't we be setting
BOOST_FUNCTION_SCOPE_USING_DECLARATION_BREAKS_ADL for this compiler?
It's actually a different bug in some details, I realize, but the
macro does say the right thing.
OK, silly me: it looks like we *do* set that macro for intel-win32.

Since the latest version of that compiler is version 8, why are we
writing:

#if (BOOST_INTEL_CXX_VERSION <= 800) || !defined(BOOST_STRICT_CONFIG)

instead of

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_INTEL_CXX_VERSION, BOOST_TESTED_AT(800))

??
...
Also, where is the test for that macro?  I don't see any in libs/config/test.
I still wanna know.

Thanks,
