I've just been hit by an oddity about the way logstream behaves on a system that has wchar_t support - even if you don't use (or care) about wide characters. On such a system, logstream derives from basic_ios<wchar_t>. This works fine for most native types, but means that operator<< for ArbitraryType will try to invoke operator<<(wostream, ArbitraryType) - the wide character streaming operator.
If your type only defines operator<<(ostream, ArbitraryType), the compile will fail with a big pile of STL errors (well, one error of no match for 'operator<<', with about a gazillion candidates). There are two solutions to this problem. The first is to change my code to be wide-output friendly: operator<<(basic_ostream<C>, ArbitraryType). Easy enough, but produces a lot of clutter in code that will never need wide character support. What would be preferable would be for logstream to become a more direct model of ostream - meaning that you have a basic_logstream<C>, with 'typedef basic_logstream<char> logstream' and 'typedef basic_logstream<wchar_t> wlogstream'.
