Ah, right. I haven't considered that -- no tests cover the uri
directive at this time (except for the concept checks). MSVC 2010
doesn't complain about the URI function and the URI type having the
same name though, so I can't say what the fix should be. I'll try
building it in my Ubuntu desktop to see if I can make it build
correctly with GCC soon.

It would be great if you can send me a pull request so that I can test
on Windows with MSVC 2010 as well on my repo.
