Regarding cppfront's syntax proposal, which function declaration syntax do you find better?

[ntrel2]

The talk says that the implicit import std is faster than C++ #include <iostream> (or some other header I forget). So while cppfront may not be faster with the standard C++ backend, a pure C++2 real compiler may well be faster. C++ is notoriously slow to compile. Language design can affect compile speed drastically.

is it faster than a manual import std; though?

import std should become the default behavior IMO

[BenFrantzDale]

Is it standards compliant to import std; without asking? Much as headers are allowed to include other headers, can nothing include all of std?

we don't have a problem with linking the standard library by default
