No.  The programmer has absolutely no control over what is in std::.
When he/she says std::, he/she gets whatever name lookup happen to
find there.

Not everything in std:: gets resolved to __gnu_norm::.  You might want
to consult the documentation relating that work.  Things that are
really defined in std are still mangled as before.
