Sorry. I didn't express that very clearly. If you include a standard
header, it in turn might indeed include other standard headers. But
	using namespace std;
will affect only the declarations in the headers that actually do get
included. The using-directive by itself does not pull the entire set of
library declarations into your program. Perhaps that is too obvious, and
I needn't have mentioned it.
