This is pointless if not actively harmful. Our public headers must be<br>
usable in external C++ applications code with or without the std<br>
namespace. AFAIU, this change hides bug that will then strike third<br>
parties after we release.<br>

My understanding of public headers in this context is "anything in<br>
the include/vlc folder", which isn't affected by this commit.<br>

Public headers is anything that is copied by make install. That is:<br>
- for external apps, the LibVLC API headers in include/vlc/ and,<br>
- for external plugins, most but not all of VLC plugin API headers in include/.<br>
