Are you trying to pick on C++ streams? I could never understand why
anybody has problems with an arrow << that means "put into the left
thing" instead of "shift the bits to the left". How often do you use
bitshift operations in your programs as opposed to output? Ot would be
equally silly to complain, that in Python you divide a string by a
tuple, and the modulus gives you a formatted string.
