the only change from <iostream.h> to <iostream> is that the former
declares things in a global namespace, while the latter keeps
everything in namespace "std::".  to wit, iostream.h most likely
consists of "#include <iostream>" and then a couple of "using"
declarations.

this is different from the case with the deprecation of "strstream",
which were replaced with a totally different set of classes
("stringstream"s).
