ISSUE    HAS
2003    class istreambuf_iterator: public iterator<input_iterator_tag,
charT, typename traits::off_type, charT*, charT&>
N2009    class istreambuf_iterator: public iterator<input_iterator_tag,
charT, typename traits::off_type, charT*, charT>

Is this change deliberate?  Documented?
I understand that in the latter case istreambuf_iterator::operator * is of
type istreambuf_iterator::reference which is more consistent with the
predefined iterators so this change could be welcome.  However, I was unable
to find any public discussion of that matter.
