I agree, it's not practical to remove Query from the IOStreams class 
hierarchy entirely.  That's why, in another post, I suggested inheriting 
instead from basic_ostream or something farther up the hierarchy, which 
is designed to be inherited from.  This would put Query completely in 
charge of managing its own internal buffer, which would remove any 
worries of some Standard C++ library doing odd things under the covers. 
  We should not depend on unspecified behavior.
