[Bug libstdc++/15910] can't compile self defined void distance(std::vector<T>, std::vector<T>)

The behaviour I wanted is at least not *against* the standard, while being more 
natural and user-friendly.  As James Kanze quoted §14.7.1/5 in 
comp.lang.c++.moderated: "If the overload resolution process can determine the 
correct function to call without instantiating a class template definition, it 
is unspecified whether that instantiation actually takes place."

BTW, proposal N1799 directly addresses this problem and, if adopted, will make 
the program we are discussing legal instead of unspecified behaviour.

I never thought any part of a C++ compiler is easy.  I just try to express my 
opinions on this subject, as a common gcc user (I myself do *not* define any 
functions named distance).
