Re: Namespace Lookup

 3.4.2  Argument-dependent name lookup            [basic.lookup.koenig]

1 When an unqualified name is used as the postfix-expression in a  func-
  tion  call  (_expr.call_),  other namespaces not considered during the
  usual unqualified lookup (_basic.lookup.unqual_) may be searched,  and
  namespace-scope friend function declarations (_class.friend_) not oth-
  erwise visible may be found.

Note that it only refers to namespace-scope friend functions (which
eliminates member functions)

Good questions for comp.std.c++, indeed...
