It doesn't seem like it's quite what I'm looking for.  For instance this SO
question<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8116541/what-exactly-is-streambuf-how-do-i-use-it>about
streambuf seems to indicate that it's something of an implementation
detail, and thus not appropriate for a high-level interface.  I think the
Boost.Asio buffer class is much more appropriate.
