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

Also arguable we should be ready for underlying C++ library headers to 
invoke the std namespace.
