Oh no! No! please, don't....... Okay, importing the whole std namespace 
globally is ugly and was never recommented in any documentation I read, 
also I personally never do that too. I just import either locally or import 
explicitely.

Exactly ;)

Take a closer look.
I did it and found it in /usr/include/g++-v31/stl_algobase.h beginning at 
line 130. Look there, the Standard C directives min and max gets removed, 
and then replaced by its template functions and some specializations.

p.s.: I also posted that in the .general feed. Hugh? I just looked here 
later ;)
