Microsft Visual C++ thinks
std::min<int>(a,b);    (for example) is perfectly fine, it also likes

using namespace std;
min<int>(a,b)

but

using std::min;
min<int>(a,b);

makes it produce an error about an unexpected int. Can someone please
confirm that is valid C++ and a bug in Microsoft's implementation?

Thanks

Paul
