/* Like std::ostream but without being incredibly slow.
 * Supports most of the built-in types except for long double.
 *
 * The FakeOStream class is intended to be inherited from.  The inherting class
 * should provide:
 * public:
 *   Derived &flush();
 *   Derived &write(const void *data, std::size_t length);
 *
 * private: or protected:
 *   friend class FakeOStream;
 *   char *Ensure(std::size_t amount);
 *   void AdvanceTo(char *to);
 *
 * The Ensure function makes enough space for an in-place write and returns
 * where to write.  The AdvanceTo function happens after the write, saying how
 * much was actually written.
 *
 * Precondition:
 * amount <= kToStringMaxBytes for in-place writes.
