Hmmm.... that would also mean that you would have a class name that is
similar / the same as a libmesh class name.  Do you not use "using
namespace libmesh" ?  Because even with this change you still wouldn't be
able to have a class name that is the same as a libmesh class name... so
that name probably wouldn't have worked out very well anyway...

But I do see your point... I just wonder if the cure is worse than the
disease.  Let's make sure not to make the source structure of libmesh
extremely painful just to fix something that comes up very rarely...
