The problem shows up if one starts to mix namespaces, if you say use both
std::size_t and my::size_t. Then the old bison.simple will add a
  using std::size_t;
which may conflict with my::size_t.

Perhaps not important, but as bison.simple already has macros, making it
easy to fix, one can just as well do it, if somebody has the energy.

So it is the old bison.simple that is wierd, in view of that it does not
provide correct C++ namespaces usage. :-)
