  Hmmm, in rereading 7.3.3, this may just be the result of a gcc bug.  What
seems to be happening is, given

// stdlib.h
namespace std
{
   int abs(int);
}
using std::abs;  // this in effect seems to 'finalize' abs are visable in ::

// math.h
namespace std
{
   double abs(double);
}
using std::abs;  // this does not make abs(double) visable in ::

int
main ()
{
   double d = abs (0.1234);  //  calls ::abs(int);
}

but clearly (I think) based on 7.3.3, this is wrong and the second using
std::abs should make ::abs(double) visable.

Okay, I can resubmit a corrected patch but it wont work correctly until gcc is
fixed, or should we go with a work-around that isnt conforming but works
correctly with the current gcc and fix it when gcc is fixed?  (which would be
more or less what I originally submitted)
