first of all a general agreement on the extension would be useful.
- whether it's just a compiler switch,
- it's a global macro,
- or if someone "include <ext/xxx>" then those functions become part of
  the std::
- or...

ps. anyway "adding corresponding using-declartions" is not the bast
solution since in this case someone have to choose which functions,
classes go into std and which remains in __gnu_cxx (those which
reamins in __gnu_cxx are the problem again). actualy there are dozens 
of classes and functions in std:: which are not part of the standard,
so why would we like to remove these ones?
