[Bug c++/16468] [DR460] using-declaration of namespace name

In response to comment #8: 
 
Boris, you will have realized that I was the one who actually _reopened_ 
the bug. I may have been misunderstood, my statement was rather meant 
to say that I believe that nothing will happen with this PR until the 
DR has been formally voted on. gcc does try to implement voted on DRs, 
and sometimes DRs for which the outcome seems predictable. However, 
I don't see anyone going to implement your suggestion as long as the 
audit trail of the PR indicates that the committee might decide in the 
opposite direction. If the committee changes its mind, then that's a 
completely different matter. 
 
As for my questions why one would want to ban this: I was merely giving 
a few hints. I am not a member of the committee, so I have no idea what 
they were thinking. My opinion is unimportant in that matter. If I have 
stepped on someone's feet, I apologize. My intent was certainly not to 
start a flame war. 
 
W.
