dout (in std.cstream) is a Stream (std.stream) wrapped around the C stdout. 
Basically it just provides an object-oriented interface to it.  Look up 
std.stream.InputStream/OutputStream/Stream for info on the methods that it 
supports.

I don't know what to say.  I think << and >> look terrible.  To each his 
own.
