I forgot one note about the stream package I posted: since I do not have
AT&T streams, either 1.2 or 2.0, nor their manuals, it was not be possible to
see whether my clone does actually respect their quaint semantics, in
particular as to checking the state of a stream to see if operations should
be allowed or not. I tried to track what I undertstood to be the semantics
of GNU C++ lib 1.35, but I am not too sure either if I have fully succeeded
in that as well; this may account for the difference in speed or size, of
course, if I implemented a simpler model than the canonical one...
