I was wondering if anyone knows a good tutorial or paper on creating new 
C++ iostream. I had 2 possible uses for it:

The interface for a queue. << - Insert end, >> - get front.
Wrapper for C I/O (especially compression) API. e.g.
ofstream_bz2 some_file("data.bin"); //.bz2 is added automatically
some_file << "some data"; //Data is automatically compressed in the bz2 
format.

All the tutorial I found on google involve a very long complicated 
sequence of steps and all seemed to involve the underlying stream buffer.

Thanks in Advance
