I'm gonna disagree with you here. cluttering your code with std:: is
just that...cluttering your code
and using namespace std; does NOT destroy the reason for namespaces.
If it did, it would hardly be part of the language.
your assertion that you get things that you do not expect is also
somewhat of an overstatement. That kind of problem comes up only when
you put such things in header files.
