I hadn't thought of the "adaptable sequence" idea, but the "composition 
of streambufs" idea sounds similar to the marg_ostreambuf in 
files/col_io.  The marg_ostreambuf::CTOR takes a streambuf and its 
member functions forward to that after doing some processing via the 
marg_buffer_put superclass.  Maybe marg_buffer_put is a "sort-of"
"adaptable sequence".  Anyway, it might give you some ideas.
