Discussion:
30.4.2.5.3 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], para 8 says:
codecvt<char,char,mbstate_t>, returns noconv.
The following objection has been raised:
Despite what the C++ Standard says, unshift can't always return noconv for the default facets, since they can be nontrivial. At least one implementation does whatever the C functions do.
[Plum ref _222152Y62]
Proposed resolution:
Change 30.4.2.5.3 [locale.codecvt.virtuals], p8:
Returns: An enumeration value, as summarized in Table 76:
...
codecvt<char,char,mbstate_t>, returns noconv.
