operator << is useful with std::ostringstream when you want to avoid having
deal with allocating enough output space. Still, I use this a lot:

    char temp[32];
    snprintf(temp, sizeof temp, "We have %d idiots here", idcount);

Sometime a printf specification is just easier to read.

The GNU compiler will even warn if the buffer isn't big enough to hold
the largest possible result.
