We had troubles with standard C++ streams on several platforms:
they react quite well in most cases, but in the multi-threaded case, for example,
they have many problems. Some Borland Compilers refuse to work at all
with them and using iostreams on Linux makes writing programs, that are
binary compatible across different Linux distributions, impossible.
Therefore, wxStreams have been added to wxWindows because an application should
compile and run on all supported platforms and we don't want users depend on release

As I said previously, we could add a filter stream so it takes an istream
argument and builds a wxInputStream from it: I don't think it should
