Funny you should ask. There will be a subset of the iostream entry
points available in libc 4.3. I do not have a good sense about how
comprehensive it all is, but it is at least sufficient to run a hello world
type of program. The reason that all of the entry points in iostream are not
included is that iostream is constantly changing, and we (actually Per, I
think) selected those entry points that are not likely to change in the near
future. As you might have guessed, this is all sort of experimental.
