Several questions, 1) There is the (apparently) undocumented pipe operator http://www.ootl.org/boost/iostreams/pipable.hpp.htm . What does it do exactly? It appears to push filters into a filtering_stream or filtering_streambuf, but I am unsure. 2) Can we use it to write arbitrarily long chains such as: source | input_filter | bidirectional_filter | output_filter | sink? 3) why the name bidirectional_filter when inputoutput_filter (or io_filter) would be apparently more consistent with stl naming convention? 4) what is the url for the latest version and what is the status?
