Problem:
The following code fails to compile. The problem is that call to max is
ambiguous. It seems as if the compiler can also see std::max eventhough I have
not included the global namespace by using "using namespace std;" or by using
"using std::max;". I find this very odd, since the namespace faciliy should
allow us to define the same names without the risk of a name-clash.
#include <string>
using std::string;
template<typename T>
inline T max(const T& a, const T&b)
{ return a < b ? b : a; }
int main()
{
string a("a"), b("b");
max(a, b);
}

No, this has nothing to do with global namespace being polluted. In fact this
is the correct behavior. What is happening is you forgot about Argument
dependent lookup.
