You can't overload a namespace.

You can specialize a template from std, if at least one of the types
involved in the specialization is user-defined, e.g.,

    namespace std
    {
        template<>
          inline void
          swap<MyFunkyType>(MyFunkyType& a, MyFunkyType& b)
          {
              ......
          }
    }
