I agree they're technically different namespaces. However, I can't think of a situation where we want to refer to a function in something else than `<the-namespace-of-the-current-ABI-version-or-the-unversionned-namespace>`.

Also, I'm not sure code up to now has been written with that subtlety in mind, and as a result it's unclear to me whether doing any change that relies on `_VSTD` being used in precisely that way would work. In other words, it's quite possible that some uses of `_VSTD::` right now should actually be using `std::`, and some uses of `std::` should be using `_VSTD::`, so making a distinction between the two in the future might not work as intended. If we want to do this, I believe we should survey existing uses of `std::` and `_VSTD::` to make sure they're as expected.
