stdio.h not standard in C++?

stdio.h is standard, but deprecated. Always prefer cstdio in C++.

[n3290: C.3.1/1]: For compatibility with the Standard C library, the
C++ standard library provides the 18 C headers (D.5), but their use is
deprecated in C++.

[n3290: D.5/3]: [ Example: The header <cstdlib> assuredly
provides its declarations and definitions within the namespace std. It
may also provide these names within the global namespace. The header
<stdlib.h> assuredly provides the same declarations and definitions
within the global namespace, much as in the C Standard. It may also
provide these names within the namespace std.
