I also note in fusion's tests, constructs like this:
void test()
{
using namespace boost::fusion;
using namespace boost;
{ // Testing deref, next, prior, begin, end
char const* s = "Hello";
typedef FUSION_SEQUENCE<int, char, double, char const*> seq_type;
seq_type v(1, 'x', 3.3, s);
result_of::begin<seq_type>::type i(v);
^^^^^^^^^
which might (depending on whether ADL is intended) fail to test some
important things in the library, and are certain to fail compilation
once boost/utility/result_of.hpp gets included by a few more boost
headers.
