Actually, I see this more as argument as to why cout is a horrible
name for a symbol in std.stdio. I suspect that the only reason that it
is there is to keep C developer migrating to D happy. It should
probably just be "out" like Java (System.out) and C# (Console.Out).
Like Robert says, cout is not in std.stdio. (maybe you were thinking of
stdout?)
And right in your counter-argument, you specify how Java and C# use
namespaces to clarify common words (*System*.out and *Console*.Out).
These only work because they must be identified by the fully qualified
name.
