sure that the analogy with the iterators library will be very effective in helping users understand these templates. As a result, I'm think of using the less technical-sounding names "generic_streambuf" and "generic_stream."

What do people think?

seems ok. have you considered basic_streambuf<> basic_stream<> as an analogy with regex/string etc ?

I'm thinking of renaming the headers that are curently based on component names so that all headers will have short, simple names. E.g.,

bzip2.hpp counter.hpp gzip.hpp line.hpp newline.hpp one_step.hpp regex.hpp stdio.hpp symmetric.hpp test.hpp zlib.hpp

Thoughts?

I like you renaming. -Thorsten
