[Bug c++/24604] New: namespace std aliasing

[bkoz at gcc dot gnu dot org]

namespace std6 
{
  int j;
}

namespace std = std6;

%g++ -c test.cc
test.cc:7: error: conflicting declaration 'namespace std = std6;'
<internal>:0: error: 'std' has a previous declaration as `namespace std { }'
test.cc:7: error: declaration of `namespace std = std6;'
<internal>:0: error: conflicts with previous declaration `namespace std { }'

This isn't possible, with either EDG or GNU front ends at the moment.

However, I would like to experiment with this. It doesn't have to be checked
in.

I thought I'd complained about this a long time ago, but I cannot find it in
bugzilla, so, once more.
