String.h not allowed?

Try this:

1) Start a new C++ tool project

2) Add a header file called String.h to the project

3) #include <string> in String.h

4) #include "String.h" in main.cpp

5) try to compile

When I do this, the compiler barfs, with all sorts of messages about undeclared
symbols such as strcpy, memset, etc.

Next, add a header file called MyString.h, #include <string> in MyString.h, and #include
MyString.h in main.cpp; delete String.h from the project.

Now it will compile just fine.

So, my question is, what is up with the header file named String.h? Why can't I include such a
file in my project?

Seems strange, and unwieldy. And I wasted a day trying to figure this one out.

Any suggestions?
