Comment:

 The comment above the second version says it all:

 {{{
 // Helper function to get the preferred size for reading data. Used for
 any
 // user-provided specialisations of basic_streambuf.
 }}}

 The friend version uses knowledge of the internals to give a "better"
 result. Any user specialisations of basic_streambuf (which may or may not
 exist) may have a different implementation and so have to use a form based
 only on the public API.
