C++ 2003, 17.4.3.1:
"A program may add template specializations for any
standard library template to namespace std. Such a
specialization (complete or partial) of a standard
library template results in undefined behavior unless
the declaration depends on a user-defined name of external
linkage and unless the specialization meets the standard
library requirements for the original template."
