   Say, is there a trick in C++ to make to_string() work for any type?

   If I have

   using namespace std;

   and then just write

   to_string(foo)

   it will prefer my local namespace's to_string() and error when given an int, instead of picking std::to_string() for those.

   Do I really have to add all variants of

   inline string to_string(int n) { return std::to_string(n); }

   to my namespace to be able to just say to_string(foo) for any type and make it work?
