Cool! I just needed this.

Vaguely related: say I want to pull everything that has to do with
valarrays (more precisely: all the classes and functions described
(in 26.3)) in my program, but I'd rather not pull in all of ::std.
(And I don't want to issue dozens of `using's either.)

Can a DWP conforming namespace be set up for this? I'm thinking along
the lines of lumping ::std into a nested partition (std::valarrays,
std::iostreams, ...).

You quoted Monterey-added text. Anyone volunteer to describe the major
changes of the latest draft wrt. the April'95 version?
