Sounds like a good plan, man.

Your idea of using namespace association to do this is intriguing to
me: you make it sound easy. I'll bite: I volunteer for this part.

Pity we canot fudge and just keep std::tr1. I think we could do it with
the header additions and a one-file (c++config.h) change with that
constraint.
