what exactly would be the advantage of bringing it back - what
could you achieve with it that you can't already do with
stringstream?


Format text into a char[] buffer. It's useful if you have to
interface to a legacy interface, to write into a memory mapped
file, and a few other things.

Of course, writing your own memory_streambuf isn't that hard
either.
