<p>
The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">stream_generator</span></code>
is a primitive which allows to use pre-existing standard streaming operators
for output generation integrated with <span class="emphasis"><em>Spirit.Karma</em></span>.
It provides a wrapper generator dispatching the value to output to the
stream operator of the corresponding type. Any value <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code>
to be formatted using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">stream_generator</span></code>
will result in invoking the standard streaming operator for its type
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">A</span></code>, for instance:
