Hello,

In the 1998-Standard, on page 641 there are listed the operator<< -
functions for basic_ostream.

The third from bottom up is marked with the comment "partial
specialization", however, there is no such thing as a partial
specialization for functions.

Instead, it's an overload - and the comment should reflect this.


regards,

Thomas

IIRC, I made that edit last week, in response to an approved
response to a Defect Report.

Thanks for pointing it out.
