Yes, that would be a good idea. I think it should go in the core 
library, not in the examples. Before I put it in, though, it should be
made into a DualUserFilter (http://tinyurl.com/2rxh7m), and it should 
have a test case. If you want to do this work yourself, that would be 
great. Otherwise, you can just add what you have so far to the wiki here 
(http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/IostreamsFiltersAndDevices), or, 
if you don't have editing permission, submit a feature request here 
(http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/newticket).

Thanks for your contribution!
