Oh, ok, whatever. It's still unfortunate for my twisted purposes. I can see why this is not allowed in practice, since then namespace could be aliased all over the place, but at least the error message should make sense. I don't see a prohibition on aliasing namespace std in the standard, strangely. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24604
