Then, for reasons of symmetry, we should expose the FILE* when we wrap the other layer. Like this:

I don't have a problem adding this kind of thing to the extension filebufs. Either, both. Submit a patch, ChangeLog entry, the whole deal.

I do have a problem with adding fd/FILE accessors to std::basic_filebuf, but this isn't what you are asking (at this point in the thread.)

I think you've already read the long, torrid history of why these were removed from basic_filebuf. If not, I suggest you search this list in google for these discussions, based on the creation date for ext/stdio_filebuf. IMHO, until the standard C++ interface changes to add these MF's, it's unlikely they'll show up in basic_filebuf again, no matter how useful they are.
