    I need to access the character data which would normally be put to
an ostream, for further use in my program.
    Is there any way (ideally) to declare a character buffer, foo,  to be an
ostream, so that foo << bar, with bar being some kind of object class,
would leave me with everything that would ordinarily go to the
standard output/file in the foo buffer?
    If not, is there some kind of kludgy workaround that works under
g++?
