src/ov-base.h, class octave_base_value

[CdeMills]

Hello,

I was trying to understand the purpose of the static data at the end of the
class definition:
 static int curr_print_indent_level;
  static bool beginning_of_line;

The last value is mainly used inside functions
octave_base_value::indent (std::ostream& os) 
octave_base_value::newline (std::ostream& os) 
As those functions are always used in the context of a std::ostream,
shouldn't we derive one class of std::ostream and move the value
beginning_of_line, and functions indent and newline, there ?

Regards

Pascal
