Are you suggesting factories like new_streambuf_source? This sounds okay. I
prefer sticking with new_source and new_sink, because it is less typing :-).

At any rate, I realize you were right that my adapters contained unnecessary
duplication. I rewrote istream_source et al. to make them derive from the
iterator-based adapters. Now they just consist of some typedefs and simple
inline constructors.

Thanks,
