IMO it's the unspoken rule that the library behaves according to its
specification (do we really need to say that? THIS STANDARD MEANS WHAT IT
SAYS AND NOT SOMETHING ELSE). The specification does not say that if I
define a function called fill() whose semantics don't match the standard's
fill(), my fill funtion will be called when I try to insert into a vector,
and the semantics of vector::insert will be changed accordingly.
