[boost] Fxns as io::filters

I mentioned in an earlier response to JT that I have written a function to 
filter adapter. The entire code is now online at 
http://www.cdiggins.com/iostreams_fxn_filters.hpp

I can't help but wonder if the syntax for chaining streams to filters 
shouldn't be

  cin >> fxn_filter(fxn) >> cout;

instead of

  cin | fxn_filter(fxn) | cout;

Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Would anyone else, other than me, 
like to see this functionality added to iostreams?
