Requirements: min and max macros
From http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Naming "Make sure your code compiles in the presence of the min() and max() macros. Some platform headers define min() and max()macros which cause some common C++ constructs to fail to compile. Some simple tricks can protect your code from inappropriate macro substitution:..." There is one case not addressed. What to do with this: std::min<std::size_t>(a, b); ?

min and max are function-like macros. The code above is not affected by those.
