No, we add currently "use std::pair" when needed. In fact, _I_ add
them, since I have access to a compiler (dec cxx) which wants them.

The problem with things like std::FILE is that cxx does not want it,
since C things are not declared in std::. In fact, cxx does not even
have <cfoo> headers (because they say their semantics are not
correctly defined, in particular wrt namespaces), so I just provided
some for this case (in src/cheaders). I could maybe modify the headers
to put everyting into std:: namespace, if it is the right thing to do.
Does SGI STL declare C functions into std::?
