I realize it's much too late for this, but I need to get it off my chest...

It's annoying that the input/output operators (<< >>) are only available
for formatted input/output (i.e. the number 1234 turns into the text
representation "1234").  For my work, I almost never need to do this. 
What I need is to input/output in binary representation.  It seems my only
option is to sub class the various istream/ostream classes (or use the
read/write members).
