Seems iteresting.

There is a small problem on this line (main page):
Noteworthy readers/writers are StringReader/Writer, *for in-memory I/O*, and
InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter, which wrap binary streams and do
on-the-fly character conversion.

The for in-memory I/O seems to be a copy paste error.

Others than this, I don't have much to says. Just a word on formatting: we
need a better way than iostream for specifying formatting option. When I
need to print number, I often go back to printf. The actual system is to
clumsy.
