| In late-draft versions of the standard, it was still called Koenig
| lookup.  In fact, there is a section [basic.lookup.koenig] in the
| version I have.  Did that change in the final version?

The "tag" for navigating in the text is [basic.lookup.koenig] but the
heading is "argument-dependent name lookup", just as we have 
[basic.lookup.classref] for the heading "Class member acess" or 
[conv.fpprom] for "Floating point promotion".  Nowhere in the standard
text is "Koenig lookup" defined or mentioned.  The history about that
lookup naming is very "surprising"  :-)

| If you want to change it, that's fine by me, but "Koenig" appears in
| several places in the C++ front end.  It would be silly to change it one
| place, but not all of them.  I don't intend to make that change.

I understand that the change should be consistent, but I was worrying
about introducing one more candidate :-)
