/**
 *  @namespace redi
 *  @brief  All PStreams classes are declared in namespace redi.
 *
 *  Like the standard iostreams, PStreams is a set of class templates,
 *  taking a character type and traits type. As with the standard streams
 *  they are most likely to be used with @c char and the default
 *  traits type, so typedefs for this most common case are provided.
 *
 *  The @c pstream_common class template is not intended to be used directly,
 *  it is used internally to provide the common functionality for the
 *  other stream classes.
