/**
 * @class   vtkOStrStreamWrapper
 * @brief   Wrapper for ostrstream.  Internal VTK use only.
 *
 * Provides a wrapper around the C++ ostrstream class so that VTK
 * source files need not include the full C++ streams library.  This
 * is intended to prevent cluttering of the translation unit and speed
 * up compilation.  Experimentation has revealed between 10% and 60%
 * less time for compilation depending on the platform.  This wrapper
 * is used by the macros in vtkSetGet.h.
