Agreed; however, given that this is a fix, I didn't want to overreach in the scope of this change since I want to make sure it gets accepted in 5.5 and it probably won't make it in the merge window. I also figured that, since this is in staging, this might be one of the things that needs to happen before being promoted out of staging. Nevertheless, I don't mind going through and adding the namespace prefix to the other non-static functions if that's what Valdis and Greg want.
