[gil] conflict between boost range and boost gil

[kaischroeder3@…]

The following does not compile because it cannot be resolved whether a call to boost::range::fill_n or std::fill_n is correct

#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/gil/image_view.hpp>
#include <boost/gil/image.hpp>
#include <boost/gil/typedefs.hpp>

#include <boost/range/algorithm/fill_n.hpp>

namespace gil = boost::gil;

int main( int argc, char** argv)
{
    gil::image<boost::array<float,2> > img;

    std::fill( gil::view(img).begin(), gil::view(img).end(), boost::array<float,2>() );
}

Error:
