That *is* a valid concern IMHO.
I thought that the name std.stdio reflected that the module is in the
standard library (std.) and that the module contains standard I/O members
rather than extraordinary I/O members, which may be contained in another
module that is also in the standard library.
In other words, the 'std' is not a duplication because it has two meanings
depending on the context. "std." refers to it being in the standard
library and "stdio" refers the the members *of that module* being standard
i/o stuff and not special i/o stuff.
