  Description
 
  The istream_withassign class is a variant of istream that allows object
  assignment. The predefined object cin is an object of this class and
  thus may be reassigned at run time to a different istream object.
 
  A program that normally expects input from stdin, for example, could be
  temporarily directed to accept its input from a disk file.
 
  Predefined Objects
 
  The cin object is a predefined object of class ostream_withassign. It is
  connected to stdin (standard input, file descriptor 0).
 
  The objects cin, cerr, and clog are tied to cout so that use of any of
  these may  cause cout to be flushed.
