The majority of situations I find where I'd use (o)stringstreams is
outputting numbers onto a display/stdout/log file/etc. as is the case
for this one. Efficiency of formatting numbers is a fairly
insignificant concern when you have much more expensive operations
(font rastering, socket I/O) going on. (IMHO)
