Hi

    We once talk about rename the __cxx1998 namespace into 
something less

C++98 biased. Here is the patch to do so.

    Ok with the new name ?


IMO the name should somehow still contain "cxx" somewhere, otherwise
this could easily cause a semantic ambiguity in situations, where the
term "normal" has a specific meaning.

What about "__cxxdef[ault]" ?


I'm not sure we need to change it at all. The name is anachronistic,
but harmless.

I thought that you also wanted to rename it. But I simply 
misunderstood, it is fine with me to keep it this way.


I was objecting to creating a new namespace called __cxx1998_a,
because for a new one we can choose any name. For the existing one I
don't really _like_ the name, but I don't think we need to change it.
