A few quick answers:

- The functionality was under development in 3.3.x, is much more stable
in the forthcoming 3.4.0.
- I definitely suggest imbuing fstreams, *not* iostreams: the latter must be
synced with "C" stdio by default and what you can do is much more limited
(according to the ISO standard).
- If you want more feedback about your experiments, please provide self-
contained, complete, snippets, albeit largely simplified wrt wait you want
to eventually achieve. Post, preferably, to the libstdc++ list.

Paolo.
