25. possible features: there may be more features in library:
I'm planning to write a review of More IO later this week. For now, I'd like to mention that I have an iostreams library up for review later this month or early in September which allows streams and stream buffers to be constructed by combining simple components called Sources, Sinks, InputFilters and OutputFilters. (See http://tinyurl.com/3m6ur) I think this is a better approach than accumulating a bunch of special purpose stream buffers implemented from scratch.
I think Daryle's pointer streams and null streams are useful, and may vote for their acceptance, but believe they would be better implemented as Sources and Sinks. Most of your ideas below also fit easily into this framework.
I'm interested and will look into this. /Pavel
