State-Changed-Why:
    This is not a bug. 
    
    If you'd like to use the C++ files like <iostream>, you'll have to use namespace std. Like so:
    
    std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl
    
    or
    
    using namespace std;
    cout << "hello, world" << endl;
    
    If you'd like to use the deprecated .h include files, like <iostream.h>, you don't need to use namespace std as everythig is in the global namespace.
    
    All this and more are described in most into to C++ textbooks.
