Hi there,

Are exceptions the only way to propogate an error out of and 
IOStreams.Device policy? We have a lot of code using this style

std::istream is(file);

if(is) { .... }

and would like not to have to change it all over to use ios exceptions 
but I can't see a way to avoid it. Is it possible?

thanks

Martin
