I hope you still continue :). I am very interested in that library.

1) What features do you plan to add before you can post it for
review? Have you considered breaking it up in several parts?
I mean do you intend to get a complete iostream replacement
with the first version? This is obviously a good goal, but even
without all iostream features the library seems to be a good
addition to boost.

2) Where is the code? I only see:
iochain/
iochain/.gitignore
iochain/Jamfile
iochain/html/
iochain/html/.gitignore
iochain/html/boostbook.css
iochain/iochain.qbk

kind regards
Andreas
