If you use "using <namespace>" you could still have aproblem
if one of your names accidently matches something this the
namespace being used.  For this reason, I don't particularly
like using "using <namespace>" myself but rather just
spell out the whole thing like boost::filesystem:: ...
Here the user do not put any on into the std namespace.
using namespace std;
    struct shared_ptr {};
My question was, How the new C++0x standard library avoid regression
on the user code when the user migrates to C++0x ?
I don't think it can.  That is why I personally prefer:

    boost::shared_ptr ..
or
  std::shared_ptr

to

using namespace std;

then this problem won't occur.
