std namespace no longer assumed?

I hope not!  Otherwise, some programmers may be tempted to make
non-compliant C++.

(And it appears that there isn't a GCC compiler switch to do that, anyway.)

Also, I recommend you do NOT add "using namespace std;" everywhere.
Instead, do things like "using std::cout;", where you pull into your source
code's namespace exactly (and conscientiously) the things that you are
utilizing.

For example:
#include <iostream>
  using std::cout;
  using std::cerr;
  using std::endl;
#include <string>
  using std::string;
