And to point out, I was biased due to contributing lots in the past to a project with some C++ uh, pedants, who regarding 'using' as very particular tool, not something to save some typing. I am pretty much convinced by Erik's argument that in source files, if it's more than a couple of usages, a 'using std::foo' is fine and sensible.
