I think the commit message is correct. There is no functional difference, and the fact that `_VSTD` spells of `std::__1` is functionally a distinction without a difference.
I purposefully omitted any  mention of mixing ABI versions internally because the idea is non-functional. We only ever have one versioning namespace, what other version are we expecting to want to call?
