Please calm down, I don't want to break threads badly or anything like.
Especially when I don't understands threads details. At this stage we just
discuss here how to make things better. My point will be clear answering
on this simple question:
What produce less errors in application and libraries?
a) Allow application to replace any standard function.
b) Produce linker error on such attempts.
Please also note that I not treat functions like err(), warn() etc. as
standard, so namespace.h is right for them.
