Like Robert says, cout is not in std.stdio. (maybe you were thinking of  
stdout?)

And right in your counter-argument, you specify how Java and C# use  
namespaces to clarify common words (*System*.out and *Console*.Out).

These only work because they must be identified by the fully qualified  
name.
