Having a macro to control this seems like a recipe for bad things (ODR violation \
being only one problem).

I think the best we can do at this point is have the compiler issue a warning in \
pedantic mode. Maybe we could add some kind of extension attribute for this purpose \
(although we'd need to think carefully about when to actually generate the warning - \
every time some extension participates in some overload set might be problematic).
