They're hard to pronounce properly, though. I just realized that this is why I
don't like them.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out.

But speaking of "buf/stream," how about using "buf" and "stream"? E.g.,

   typedef stream<file> filestream;
   typedef buf<file>    filebuf;

   typedef stream<array> arraystream;
   typedef buf<array>    arraybuf;
