In section 27.6.1.3 [lib.istream.unformatted], the ignore function is
described as taking a first parameter of type int and there's a reference to
special handling of numeric_limits<int>::max().

In section 27.6.1.1 [lib.istream], the summary of the basic_istream template
shows ignore as a function taking a first parameter of type streamsize.

Either 27.6.1.1 should be modified to show a first parameter of type int, or
27.6.1.3 should be modified to show a first parameter of type streamsize and
use numeric_limits<streamsize>::max.
