<p>LLVM includes a lightweight, simple, and efficient stream implementation
in <tt>llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h</tt> which provides all of the common features
of <tt>std::iostream</tt>. All new code should use <tt>raw_ostream</tt> instead
of <tt>iostream</tt>.</p>
<p>Unlike <tt>std::iostream</tt>, <tt>raw_ostream</tt> is not a template and can
be forward declared as <tt>class raw_ostream</tt>. Public headers should
generally not include the <tt>raw_ostream</tt> header, but use forward
declarations and constant references to <tt>raw_ostream</tt> instances.</p>
