Detailed Description

I/O streams for bytes (byte is unsigned char, not regular char).

This was first solved with typedefs like "typedef basic_istream<byte> bistream;". That turns out to be difficult, though, since you need to supply your own implementation for char_traits and basic_fstream. The current typedefs aren't very useful except to indicate in the source: "This is /intended/ to be used for binary data, not text".
