Why binary? I could see lots of uses for text as well.
Because text is a special case of binary. If the library supports streambufs, and when it would support the concept of 'message blocks', then "text" just means that you'd detect End-Of-Line sequences and cut the stream into messages that are in fact lines of text. Actually putting that text in a std::string and doing some work on it should be in user code imho. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>
