You may wish to read the proceedings from this year's GCC summit, where
another solution was presented by some gentlemen from Intel.  For
various reasons, symbol versioning is not a useful solution to this
problem.

No one objected to their solution in principle, AFAICT, although there
was some discussion afterwards about whether the use of strong
namespace using was really necessary.  I'm afraid I don't understand
C++ well enough to explain the rest of that conversation.

May just need someone to do the work.
