Well, to be frank, I've seen a few C++ coding style documents, that suggest
avoiding <stdout.h> altogether when writing in C++. The fact that parts of
the C++ libraries already use the I/O stream classes, which have their own
buffers, combined with the buffered I/O that <stdout.h> does by default,
can and usually does result in all hell being let loose.
But then, I'm probably starting to go off topic here...
