Many utility functions have generic names that may conflict with symbols from other libraries, causing linkage issues.
The 'inline namespace' approach seems ideal for this case, since it's automatically added by any source code that includes
util.h. Moving the whole library to its own namespace would also work, of course.I kept the functions in place to avoid a huge diff, but they should probably be reorganized by visibility.
This is related to #967 , which I suggested for the same reason.
Should fix #1011 .
