Comment (by johnmaddock):

 class Stream and CDumpContext are entirely specific to MSVC, they won't
 appear anywhere in Boost code.

 Also note that std::iostream code is only used in Boost.Math for
 debugging/diagnostic purposes (when BOOST_MATH_INSTRUMENT is defined).
 What ''is'' used is boost::lexical_cast which depends on std::stringstream
 and related code.  Removing that is much harder - verging on impossible if
 we want to retain multiprecision support - which we certainly do.
