That sounds like a good idea if it is possible.

Many of the uses of vtksys_ios:: are to refer to ostringstream.
KWSys provides a compatibility implementation to simulate modern
stringstream classes on compilers that have only the old strstream.
I do not know if we have dropped support for all such compilers.
