Hmm, I must admit that that reply was a little beyond me. Thinking about
it more after reading your reply, is the issue that num_put is only
implemented as a specialization? Or is it implemented as a generic
template that will function with any output iterator type but only
instanced with ostreambuf_iterator? Am I on the right track? Long
question short, is there any way I can get code asking for num_put<char,
char*> to work with gcc without writing a specialization for it? I know
I could go through the code and convert all the stacked char arrays to
stringstreams, but that seems like an unnecessary de-optimization.

Thanks.
