One more thing: if you want to do binary i/o portably with the file wrappers,
you need to manually imbue the classic locale, in case the global local is set
to something more exotic. If you want to avoid this, you can use file_descriptor
and friends (www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=4.2.5.2).
