C++ streams have their advantages, but in some ways they’re a downright pain.

I’ve finally started to look into the new features in C++11 and I thought it would be useful to jot down the highlights, for myself or anyone else who’s curious. Since there’s a lot of ground to cover, I’m going to look at each item in its own post — this is the second of the final two that cover what I feel to be the most important changes to the standard template library.
