Neither clang nor libc++ has full ownership of the __namespace.  We have to share it.  It would be just as silly for us to be telling you to avoid this space because we're likely to step on you in the future.

The change that introduced the __is_void, etc into libc++ was r103490, which was 3 years and 7 months ago.
