Gaby, your comment is funny! Made me laugh, since I just got out of my cast.

Just for reference, this is invalid because it would invalidate 

17.4.1.1 - Library contents 

requires std or std:: namespaces for library components

17.4.3.1.4 - Types [lib.extern.types]

ie std::size_t and ::size_t could no longer be equivalent.

It would also change standard-defined external linkage

17.4.3.1.3 - External linkage
