Hi Dmitry,

Ooops. Documentation is not up-to-date. Resize was changed with reserve 
because

a) I originally wanted to reserve memory, but not add characters to the 
stream. Shmem version called resize and set the new streams pointers, 
but this was not correct.

b) I thought that adding characters to be stream should be done using 
stream functions, instead of though a vector resize.

The idea in Interprocess is to have "reserve" to avoid reallocations 
when inserting new characters in the vector and I don't plan to include 
"reserve". Do you see it useful?
