I've been a C++ dev for longer than I care to admit. The idea that you could call the wrong function after putting "using std::string" at the top of your .cpp file doesn't reflect my experience. You might have a point if people are putting that in header files. But even in header files, "using std::string" is often a standard thing to do in e.g. game engines. It's far easier to change out your string implementation if you're writing "string" instead of "std::string".
