I wouldn't have posted here if I thought it was off topic here.

Despite the lack of a charter for this newsgroup.

It's about using the C++ language and about limitations in the C++ 
standard library.

You may of course think that it's environment specific, like, 
"Windows!". And in one very limited sense it is. But on the other hand, 
it is necessary to discuss these details in order to be able to write 
portable C++ code.

As a minimum example, the copy program in Josutti's book, while intended 
to be portable and by many people believed to be portable, is not. It is 
actually environment specific, while appearing to be portable. While the 
code I'm discussing is opposite: it may appear to be 
environment-specific, but is actually in support of portability ;-).

Cheers & hth., & thanks for the comment!,
