... and as a developer, I wish we left out such namespace pollution more often.

I write code on FreeBSD which I then publish with the intention that people will
be able to use it on any POSIX-compliant system, and I've lost count of the
number of times I've been hit by "this won't build on OS X or Linux because you
forgot to #include <stdint.h>".

Namespace pollution has a very real cost in wasted developer time.
