Conceptually that's almost true, but in fact the IOStreams implementation
usually provided by <fstream.h> differed from standard IOStreams is several
fundamental ways.

- It was not template-ized.
- There were a variety of differences in the details of opening files.
- There were differences in the handling of locales.
