[boost] [rfc] I/O Library Design

Hi, A few weeks ago, a discussion that followed the demonstration of the binary_iostream library made me think about the standard C++ I/O and what I would expect from an I/O model. Now I have a preliminary design document ready and would like to have some feedback from the Boost community on it. The document can be found here: http://windmuehlgasse.getdesigned.at/newio/ I'd especially like input on the unresolved issues, but all comments are welcome, even if you tell me that what I'm doing is completely pointless and misguided. (At least I'd know not to waste my time with refining and implementing the design. :-)) Sebastian Redl
