Obviously I was wrong when I said:

    doc/filtering_streams.html
      - made no mention of ostream

I thought I did a search for "ostream", but I guess not :(
Oh, wait, filtering_streams.html doesn't have "ostream"; however,
filtering_stream.html does. I should have thought to look under
reference and then filtering_stream.  Sorry.  My mistake.
