Output stream buffer iterator
Ostreambuf iterators are output iterators that write sequentially to an stream buffer.
They are constructed from a basic_streambuf object open for writing, to which they become associated.
It is defined with a behavior similar to:

Member functions
- constructor
- ostreambuf_iterator objects are constructed from either a basic_streambuf object or a basic_ostream object.
operator=- Writes an element into the stream buffer.
operator*- Returns the current value in the stream buffer.
operator++- Does nothing. Returns
*this.
operator++(int)- Does nothing. Returns
*this.
- failed
- Returns whether a previous writing operation failed (i.e. basic_streambuf::sputc returned
traits::eof() in a previous call to operator=).
