[boost] Any interest in a library for supporting program reuse?

Hi all, the compulsive coder here again,

I've just written in a working prototype of a library for writing C++ 
programs which can be treated in C++ code like Unix filters, i.e. redirected 
to and from streams, and other programs.

For instance:

  fstream f("c:\\tmp.txt");
  stringstream s;
  HelloWorldProgram() > f > UpperCaseProgram() > s;

Is there any interest in this kind of library, for boost? I am using it for 
writing test and demonstration programs of libraries, but I think it has a 
lot of other uses.
