Dumb question w.r.t. thread safety...

Why is that?

I still don't buy that argument. I know there are examples that work
incorrectly if the C library lives both inside and outside std, but
could you give me a single real-world example where that matters?

OTOH, people frequently complain that something in the standard
library is in their way; if it was all in namespace std, it would
work.

So -fhonor-std is the lesser evil compared to -fno-honor-std, no?
