I think you can get away with it if you add this to your headers:

using namespace std;

I'm not even remotely a C++ programmer, and even _I_ know how to
deal with this properly.

using namespace std;

Already mentioned, twice. That's waht I ment in "Time to start adding a namespace decleration to all my code"
Since my previous code didn't have, or need one.

My point was more in what followed:

I don't understand why the ISO standard doesn't use std as the default namespace. Why call it std if it's not the default standard namespace? Imagine if the C spec changes standard in, out, and error (stdout, sdtin, and stderr) to be required. So now this code:

printf("Type your name:");
scanf("%s",name);
printf("Hello %s!\n",name);

became

fprintf(stdout,...);
fscanf(stdin,...);
fprintf(sdtout...);

That's the kind of change the C++ standard is making.
