Why is stdio ... stdio?

[Chris Katko]

Simple curious question.

Why isn't :

import std.stdio;

instead:

import std.io;

(Also, while we're at it. Why doesn't this form have code 
highlighting? It would much improve readibility. Doesn't that 
seem almost essential for a programming forum?)


I mean, I get it. stdio is the c header from a thousand years 
ago. But this isn't C. So it's kind of odd to ask for the 
"Standard standard" io library.
