I'm wondering if anyone can explain what Stroustrup means in this 
paragraph on ostream and char_traits.

He wrote:

"The basic_ostream template parameter control the type of characters that 
is used by the implementation; they do not affect the types of values 
that can be output."

FWIW this is from from The C++ programming language 3rd edition pg 608
