  char* str();
 
  Remarks
 
  Returns a pointer to the internal character array. If the stream was
  built with the void-argument constructor, then str freezes the array.
  You must not send characters to a frozen stream, and you are responsible
  for deleting the array. You can unfreeze the the stream by calling
  rdbuf->freeze( 0 ).
 
  If the stream was built with the constructor that specified the buffer,
  then the pointer contains the same address as the array used to
  construct the ostrstream object.
