That isn't possible: many headers (eg Posix) are C only (*.h files).
gcc takes care to allow mixing them. C form of C++ header works too.
This is implementation dependent, but gcc implements it very well
IMHO: magically symbols are both ::symbol and std::symbol... :)

What actually happened was me being stupid:

	namespace X { 
	#include <cstddef>
	}

woops! It would be cool if there were some magic to
warn about this, eg:

	#pragma SHOULD_BE_GLOBAL
	#pragma SHOULD_BE_GLOBAL_OR_STD
