// .NAME vtkOStreamWrapper - Wrapper for C++ ostream.  Internal VTK use only.
// .SECTION Description
// Provides a wrapper around the C++ ostream so that VTK source files
// need not include the full C++ streams library.  This is intended to
// prevent cluttering of the translation unit and speed up
// compilation.  Experimentation has revealed between 10% and 60% less
// time for compilation depending on the platform.  This wrapper is
// used by the macros in vtkSetGet.h.
