[Bug libstdc++/26142] New: global debug namespace clashes everywhere

[mueller at gcc dot gnu dot org]

the 

namespace debug = std::__gnu_debug;

from debug/debug.h (which is pulled in by almost every STL header) causes
quite some clashes and is a huge PITA, as debug is often a user application
namespace or
function. 

why can't this be inside the std:: namespace or at least not be pulled in
by default? (without explicitely including this header, or even using some
define?)

this seems a violation of namespace cleanness to me. is this really defined
in ISO C++?
