No, that discussion was derailed by confusion, and never reached
a resolution.

Extension headers that are brought in by standard headers have to be 
uglified.   This may mean that we need both a __basic_stdiobuf and a 
basic_stdiobuf (probably derived from it), the former for use in 
<iostream> and the latter documented for users.
