David> FWIW, that's the way it is in C++, and almost all of the same David> conclusions fall out of it.

It seems only fair that I should mention a complaint: The fact that bool is an integral type makes it necessary to have operator const void* rather than operator bool as members of istream and ostream for end-of-file testing. Otherwise, writing ``cin << x'' instead of ``cin >> x'' by mistake would result in converting cin to bool and thence to int, shifting the result right by x bits, and throwing it away. -- Andrew Koenig, ark@research.att.com, http://www.research.att.com/info/ark
