For namespace grouping, the C++ language also gives us a non 
intrusive choice:

namespace AllBoost {
    using namespace boost;
    using namespace boost::estl;
    using namespace boost::filesystem;
}

namespace Everything {
    using namespace AllBoost;
    using namespace std;
}

using namespace AllBoost;
