These modules suffer from the following problems:
1. poor documentation, dearth of examples & rationale
2. toHash(), toString(), etc., all need to be const pure nothrow, but
it's turning out to be problematic for doing it for these classes
3. overlapping functionality with std.stdio
4. they should present a range interface, not a streaming one
While we're at it, do we want to keep std.outbuffer?
