slerp function ambiguity when including both gtc/quaternion.hpp and gtx/compatibility.hpp #286
Description
Hi,
When attempting to compile code which includes both glm/gtc/quaternion.hpp and glm/gtx/compatibility.hpp, I receive the following error:
error: call of overloaded ‘slerp(const quat&, const quat&, const float&)’ is ambiguous
const glm::quat slerped_quat = glm::slerp(first_keyframe_rot, second_keyframe_rot, interpolation_value);
.../animation.cpp:67:109: note: candidates are:

And here's the function call I'm making, with the definitions of the relevant variables:
const float first_keyframe_time = m_keyframes[i-1].Time();
const glm::quat first_keyframe_rot = m_keyframes[i-1].GetRotation(bone_name);
const float second_keyframe_time = m_keyframes[i].Time();
const glm::quat second_keyframe_rot = m_keyframes[i].GetRotation(bone_name);
const float interpolation_value = (normalised_time - first_keyframe_time)/(second_keyframe_time - first_keyframe_time);
const glm::quat slerped_quat = glm::slerp(first_keyframe_rot, second_keyframe_rot, interpolation_value);
If I remove either include (and comment out the functions from that header), the code compiles fine. I get the same results in both 0.9.6 and 0.9.5.
I'm afraid I'm not the most experienced with this sort of thing, so if it's a mistake on my end, I apologise in advance for taking up your time. If there's anything else I can provide, please let me know.
Thanks for your great work on GLM,

Edit: I've fixed where I accidentally referred to gtc/quaternion as gtx/quaternion and then subsequently referred to a function from gtx/quaternion.
