Let me add the clarifications here, and then comment on your message as needed. Some of these points are mentioned in the documentation, but they need to be featured more prominently.
I. Filtering Streams. The template filtering_stream<Mode> derives from: A. std::basic_istream if Mode refines input but not output B. std::basic_ostream if Mode refines output but not input C. std::basic_iostream otherwise.
This is alluded to here, http://tinyurl.com/5t6l7, but clearly needs to be spelled out more explicitly and perhaps in an eariler section of the documentation.
Obviously I was wrong when I said: doc/filtering_streams.html - made no mention of ostream I thought I did a search for "ostream", but I guess not :( Oh, wait, filtering_streams.html doesn't have "ostream"; however, filtering_stream.html does. I should have thought to look under reference and then filtering_stream. Sorry. My mistake.
