In the simplest possible way, it means:
Dear mister compiler,
In this place (or scope), I would like to be using this namespace that they call std . This would really help me because I won't have to qualify everything with std:: in the remainder of this scope.
Thank you.
And then, the compiler will do it. But, beware of the dangers of name-clashes if you abuse this feature.
