State-Changed-When: Wed Jun  5 07:49:01 2002
State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  According to the standard section 7.3.1 p2,
      The identifier in an original-namespace-definition
      shall not have been previously defined in the declarative
      region in which the original-namespace-definition appears.

 I think so.  But it is not high priority.

 The example was:
 
 #include <cmath>
 
 namespace log
 {
 	static const int a_var = 0;
 }
 
 int main()
 {}
 
 Fails to compile, due to a conflict between the log function and 
 namespace log.
 
 So the real problem here, is the manner in which the standard library
 imports functions into namespace std with a using directive.
 
 The standard C++ header <cmath> should not specify functions at the
 global scope, that interfere with namespace definitions like the one
 above.
 
 Can we re-open this defect report as a standard library bug?
