Looking at today's version in the sandbox, I still see the following high-level questions fr
om the formal review looming without clear answers.

* Stream-buffer-wrapping Streams motivation: Why would someone want an internal buffer (vers
us independent buffers as used by standard streams)?  (Example, please.)

* Array-Based Streams motivation: When is the class more suitable than std::stringstream?  (
Example, please.)

* newl differs from '\n' only in that newl doesn't perform background formatting.  Presumabl
y one would choose to use newl to avoid the formatting.  What is undesirable about '\n' bein
g formatted?


There are lower-level issues remaining, too, but these are more appropriate to address after
 the high-level issues are resolved.
