If it bothers you so much, just use 'using namespace std;' or 'using std::uint64_t;'.

Or just '#include <stdint.h>'. C++ is TIMTOWTDI too!

Going the route `using std::uint64_t`, you'd have to do that for every basic type. Which is fine. I'd just use that in a general header that's included everywhere in a project (stdafx, or what have you). Though at that point it doesn't really matter which you pick.
