Firstly, GCC-2.92.x/g++ doesn't put its library in namespace ::std, as
documented in its library.

Secondly, with -fhonor-std, the compiler (currently) treats namespace
::std just like any other namespace.
If you find it to be the case that -fhonor-std does not do what it is
supposed to then, please, feel free to file a bug-report for this is a
hot issue that ought to be gotten right.
