It would seem that if there's a conflict now, and the names are changed by 
the committee to avoid a conflict, then the next generation of compilers 
will be using the name from the wrong namespace, and you'll either not get a 
compile-time error at all but only wrong execution, or you'll get compile 
errors that make no sense in context, because anyone looking at the compile 
error will be looking at the definition in the wrong library and wondering 
why you're passing the wrong types of arguments.
