  1. One good thing is, you don’t have to do “using namespace «ns»” to bring everything in, you can individually import names into the current namespace with “using «ns»::«name»”, e.g. “using std::cout” etc.

  2. 1:20 iostreams turned out to be a poor idea. When writing localized messages, you may need to rearrange the variable parts to cater to different language grammars: printf-style formatting has support for this, iostreams does not.

  3. Python lets you “import «fullname» as «nick»”, to shorten the references a bit without resorting to wildcard imports. Has C++ got that feature yet?
