I second this. Could anybody show an example where array_stream would be
preferable to stringstream.
In other case I do not see a reason to include this component. Maybe only as
an example in .../lib/io/example

Maybe newl does not reset the manipulators? If it true it should be spelled
out explicitly. In any case I also like to see an example where newl is
preferable to << '\n'.
