How do you know "std::cout << 1" isn't reading a static int named cout in std namespace shifting it by one and throwing away result? Also how do you know what "<<" does ;) ??? ... seems like this answer is not good data point to avoid 'using'.

If someone has redefined std::cout to be an integer, then your problem isn't technical, but social -- someone has it in for you. (and you should probably also check all of the headers for things like #define true false, etc)

When I see cout I know it's std::cout, always. If I'm wrong, it's problem of person who wrote this code, not me :)
