Hi All,

I see two ways to import types in a specific namespace : using
declarations and typedefs. For example :

namespace <whatever> { using std::string; }

or

namespace <whatever> { typedef std::string string; }

So one can write :

namespace <whatever> { void do_something( string &str ); }

What are the pros and cons of each method ? How does this affect
overload resolution ? What is preferred ?

Thanks,
