C++ socketstreams

This is not my favourite design but when using TCP/IP I belive this
to 
be extra-ordinary: [lib.sockstream]

The header <sockstream> defines four class templates and six types 
that associate stream buffers with sockets and
assists reading and writing to and from sockets. 
In addittion <sockstream> defines three operators that extracts 
connection-oriented streams from
connection-oriented server-streams.

Header <sockstream> synopsis 
namespace sock { 
template <class charT, class traits= std::char_traits<charT> > 
                    class basic_socketbuf; 
                typedef basic_socketbuf<char>        socketbuf; 
                typedef basic_socketbuf<wchar_t>     wsocketbuf; 

                template <class charT, class traits= 
std::char_traits<charT> > 
                    class basic_isocketstream; 
                typedef basic_isocketstream<char>    isocketstream; 
                typedef basic_isocketstream<wchar_t> wisocketstream; 

                template <class charT, class traits= 
std::char_traits<charT> > 
                    class basic_osocketstream; 
                typedef basic_osocketstream<char>    osocketstream 
                typedef basic_osocketstream<wchar_t> wosocketstream; 

                template <class charT, class traits= 
std::char_traits<charT> > 
                    class basic_socketstream; 
                typedef basic_socketstream<char>     socketstream; 
                typedef basic_socketstream<wchar_t>  wsocketstream; 

                template <class charT, class traits> 
basic_isocketstream& operator >> 
                    (basic_isocketstream<charT, traits>& at, 
                     basic_isocketstream<charT, traits>& cs); 
                template <class charT, class traits> 
basic_isocketstream& operator >> 
                    (basic_isocketstream<charT, traits>& at, 
                     basic_osocketstream<charT, traits>& cs); 
                template <class charT, class traits> 
basic_isocketstream& operator >> 
                    (basic_isocketstream<charT, traits>& at, 
                     basic_socketstream<charT, traits>& cs); 
           }
