The iostreams are, in my opinion, the worst part of the Standard Library. I
don't consider them a good implementation, even if they have good ideas (<<
and >>).
istream QTextStream
get read and readLine
the overload with a delimiter: there was a discussion about replacing
readLine with that, but it hasn't happened
peek <missing, no one has ever asked for it>
unget seek(pos() - 1) (slow! can't be avoided)
putback <missing, really bad idea!>
putback does the same as unget, plus adds a character that wasn't necessarily
the last character that was read. Plus, the function has implementation-
defined behaviour.
