That's true, which is why I gave the disclaimer "if you want to stick with the standard stream operator". It seems like a lot of people who ask questions here are doing so for courses and things, and giving them answers they haven't encountered and don't understand yet might do more harm than good. Of course, I have no way of knowing if that's the case for BuddyHawks, but I thought I'd offer an option :-)
