	But in what language the C++ streams are implemented internally ?
Isn't it mostly in C and asm ?  The C libraries usually are too.

	I'm interested in this particular point since my own projects
rely _a lot_ on labelled data (using my own C string "library").  Could you
give an example where C++ strings clearly outperform the equivalent C code
(if anything similar can be done) ?

	Ah ! Since I usually write GB of data, it seems that I still have
a good reason to "kiss" C a bit longer  ;-)
