The String's are claimed to be fit for binary data, but do not provide the operator%.

You can use StringStream.

The problem is that for String, it would to weird to support bidirectional operator%.

Using StringStream is almost as simple as using String proper.

(But you sent me thinking - maybe only the output is what we need there, right?).

Alternative FileOut could get a constructor which allows to select binary or text

And that would do what? Convert '\n' to "\r\n" on Windows?

BTW, such thing is extremely constly in terms of performance in certain scenarios.

IMO it is more logical to use specific Putn[le|be]. LE/BE is usually not a variable for given file format.
