New issue 544 by [email protected]: C++ headers use unqualified (=potentially ambiguous) names from std namespace
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=544

When used alongside a library that reuses (in a separate namespace) names from the standard library, protobuf headers may fail to compile with an "ambiguous symbol" error.

In my case, my project uses uBLAS, which defines the template boost::numeric::ublas::vector. Now I can't include the headers message.h, generated_message_reflection.h, unknown_field_set.h unmodified, because they refer to vector<...> rather than std::vector<...>, which creates an ambiguity in the context in which I'm including them.

A quick search through the code shows that this is a consistent pattern (at least with regards to the name "vector"), so I'm a little puzzled.
