/**\brief An std::stringbuf that emits when it is updated.
  *
  * smtk::io::Logger does not have any access points for derived classes to
  * inject actions upon the receipt of a log. So, we set our logger to use a
  * std::ostream with a custom std::stringbuf that emits during its sync() call.
  *
  * NOTE: This is not a very performant way to pass log messages, and could
  * become a performance bottleneck.
