Benjamin,

While the ICE is definitely a bug in the compiler, we cannot write

   namesapce std = whatever;

because ::std is treated magically in the compiler, that is, before we
start parsing inputs, we (in front end, I mean) magically declare std as
an orignal nameespace  -- and we put there many stuff.

I'll, however, take care of this issue.
