Problem is: we need to detect the cast from istream to bool so we can issue a warning. But if we do that we could as well fix the cast :-) I know it's annoying, but the best way for us is to fix it in the new version of CINT: we need to fix all the cast operation properly, the istream problem you found is just one of them.

There is of course the list of limitations available on the web, linked from the CINT site: <http://root.cern.ch/viewcvs/trunk/doc/limitati.txt?root=cint>.
Many of the limitations with templates can be solved by creating a dictionary for the STL type or by compiling the code using ACLiC (.L code.C+) which is the recommended way to work with more complex files anyway.
