- An alternative formulation would have been to require policy class member
functions with return type <CODE>std::streamsize</CODE> to return

functions returning <CODE>void</CODE> so that they return a <CODE>bool</CODE>

made to allow implementors a means to convey aditional information about the
cause of errors, and to free them from having to remember which return values
