I was using "name space" in the more traditional sense: any set of
identifiers that the user can control.  C has multiple name spaces;
one for macros, one for struct tags, one for enum tags, etc.  C++ has
more.

In this sense, including <cstddef> does seem to infringe on the user
name space, since it defines preprocessor macros that do not begin
with yy or YY.
