For new code, probably six of one, half dozen of the other.  For cases
where older C (or C++) code is included in the mix, adding 'using namespace std'
can cause potential conflicts (which may go unnoticed if the parameter types match)
with existing function names (application or 3rd party library APIs) that are the
same as those in the std namespace.

Personally, I prefer to prefix the names when used rather than use
a blanket using clause.

But then I find certain posters style (bonnie and alf mainly) far too
verbose and unnecessary - too much like COBOL for my tastes.

In a perfect world, perhaps there wouldn't be a need to intermix
C and C++, but I've yet to see it.
