What impact does iostreams (classic or STL) have on code size, as
compared to stdio? I'm sure most of us cut our teeth on printf and find
stream inserters to be difficult to get used to, but they have the
benefit of adapting to new types by defining an inserter for the new
type, and printf lacks a mechanism for automatically type-checking its
parameters and making sure the right number were passed. What cost must
we pay for the convenience of type-safety?
