If the compiler where really smart,
os << uppercase;
should be inlined to
os._M_flags |= ios_base::uppercase;

Which should result in both smaller code and faster execution than what
happens currently.

(Currently, the compiler is unable to inline calls through function pointers,
even if the pointee is known at compile time. There is already a report about
this, it's PR3713.)
