[lug] OT: C++ strstreams?

[Scott A. Herod]

Yes.  strstreams are also deprecated infavor of stringstreams.  BTW, 
I wonder if there is a bug in the 2.96 version of ifstreams::get().
If you use ifstreams::get( streambuf ), the current position pointer
does not seem to by updated after a call.  Also, it returns a istream
rather than an ifstream.  I've not checked gcc 3 where the
implementation
now uses on templates.
