cout and cin

is it possible to create something like cout, but which can handle both input and output? i.e.:

Code:

---

int temp_in=0;
while(1) {
cboth << "type a number: ";
cboth >> temp_in;
cboth << "\nyou typed the wrong number. try again\n";
}

---

(i know it's an endless loop, meant to aggrivate the user)

CTRL C or a baseball bat stops all running loops.

sure, but i think it could would making debugging difficult. you'll have to overload the >> and << operators.
