Hello

I'm having difficulties understanding some concepts of iostream filters.

What I want to do?
I want to have a filter (filter/line.hpp) that will split input (file) to 
lines.
I've looked at class example but I still dont know how to use it for input 
(source) file.

When I put filter on source stream, what is the best way to read it?
I noticed most of examples use std::getline which gets line by default, but 
I decided to go for boost iostreams line filter because I thought it would 
be faster than getline approach.. Is this wrong?
If not, how should I read file using line filter stream to get best 
preformance?

Thanks for help
