Hi Szymon,

Could you not create a derived version of filtering_istream where
the 1st base class contained all the filters and the 2nd base
class was a filtering_istream. Then, I'd guess you could just
pass references to filters in 1st base class to the 2nd base
class, and they would live *almost* as long as the 2nd base
class. I say almost because the 1st base class would be
destroyed 1st. Would that be a problem? Hmm. Maybe the
1st base could be just a wrapped pointer which would be
deleted in the derived class?

-regards,
Larry

I actually thought about the same thing, possibly using boost base-from-member utility.

Still, this feels like working against Iostreams not with it :(

Thanks,

SImon
