Calling a function via its unqualified name invokes argument-dependent lookup. In this case, since using numext::sqrt; was used, both numext::sqrt() and boost::decimal::sqrt() participated in overload resolution. Since only numext::sqrt() was intended, the fix is to call that overload directly instead.
