You haven't looked recently enough :-)

In modern libstdc++ you'll find things like;
  template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
    class basic_ostream : virtual public basic_ios<_CharT, _Traits>

And will also see that stream semantics are integrated tightly with/into the 
STL. 

Yes, the basic ifstream stuff is older than STL, and you can't see the 
template stuff in that line, but it is there..
