I just heard a rumour that a user function name which is the same name as a builtin name will clash even if namespacing is used to clarify which function is being specified. Then i heard people knew about it, and voted to allow this to continue. And people who knew about it kept it hushed up.
Are the rumours correct?
And Area51 really does have a martian spaceship.
OMG, where do you guys get or dream up these ideas???
If namespaces are used then the clash can be resolved.
There is no one "hushing" up anything. And there is nothing to "hush" up anyway.
Sheesh!!!

Well like most conspiracy theories, this one was false too. It seems to have been based on the usual mixture of misunderstanding and accidental misinformation.
Someone thought that this namespace thing would cause a compiler error and when they found out that it had been changed to be just a warning now, he was not aware of any discussion or reason behind the change (even though he approves of the change). No hushing up involved, just a missed message many months ago.
