  From a historical point, C and C++ name their library stdio.h. 
io by itself is just input/output, and doesn't really hint it 
would be using the STDIN/STDOUT.

  Beyond historical, i couldn't tell you why not to...

Because std.stdio is just a wrapper around C's stdio library.

std.io is supposed to be in the works, and is slated to replace
std.stream and be a superior to std.stdio. Unfortunately, std.io has yet
to materialize, 'cos the guy working on it has been rather busy. :-(
