 The standard is not clear about the requirements on the value returned from
 a call to get_temporary_buffer(0). In particular, it fails to specify whether
 the call should return a distinct pointer each time it is called (like
 operator new), or whether the value is unspecified (as if returned by
 malloc). The standard also fails to mention what the required behavior
 is when the argument is less than 0.

 instantiate the num_get template on user-defined types.
-
-        </p>
-    <p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
-        <p>
-
-Specify a mechanism whereby the num_get template may compare objects of
-user-defined character types. Several possible solutions, each having
-some drawbacks, were discussed in a thread on c++std-lib@research.att.com
-starting with c++std-lib-10623.
-<br>
-
-One possibility is to require that user-defined character types be equality
-comparable, thus obviating tye need for the char_traits::eq() function. This
-solution would make the requirements imposed on user-defined character types
-by the locale templates inconsistent with those of basic_string.
-<br>
-
-Another option is to require that programs that instantiate num_get on
-user-defined types provide an explicit specialization of the std::char_traits
-template on that type and require num_get to use it. This solution would
-render the basic_string Traits template parameter useless.
-<br>
-
-Yet another option is to specify that when the num_get facet is instantiated
-on a user-defined character type, say charT, that defines the nested type
-charT::traits_type, num_get should use it to do comparisons. Otherwise,
-num_get should use std::char_traits&lt;charT&gt;. This solution, while more
-robust than the first two, might set the unwarranted expectation that
-a program that provides two traits classes for the same character type
-will have meaningful semantics.
-<br>
-
-Finally, arguably the most flexible solution is to remove the requirement
-from Stage 2 that num_get compare the widened set of character literals and
-instead have the template compare the narrowed characters read from the
-input sequence. This issue proposes to adopt this last option as the
-resolution.

+
+<p>Template parameters in this clause which are required to be facets
+are those named Facet in declarations. A program that passes a type
+that is not a facet, or a type that refers to volatile-qualified

+<p>Section 23.1.1 <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lib-containers.html#lib.sequence.reqmts"> [lib.sequence.reqmts]</a>, paragraphs 9-11, fixed up the problem
+noticed with statements like:</p>
+<pre>vector&lt;int&gt; v(10, 1);
+</pre>
+
+<p>The intent of the above statement was to construct with:</p>
+<pre>vector(size_type, const value_type&amp;);
+</pre>
+
+<p>but early implementations failed to compile as they bound to:</p>
+<pre>template &lt;class InputIterator&gt;
+vector(InputIterator f, InputIterator l);
+</pre>
+<p>instead.</p>
+
+<p>Paragraphs 9-11 say that if InputIterator is an integral type, then the
+member template constructor will have the same effect as:</p>
+<pre>vector&lt;static_cast&lt;size_type&gt;(f), static_cast&lt;value_type&gt;(l));
+</pre>
+<p>(and similarly for the other member template functions of sequences).</p>
+
+<p>There is also a note that describes one implementation technique:</p>
+<blockquote>
+   One way that sequence implementors can satisfy this requirement is to
+   specialize the member template for every integral type.
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>This might look something like:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<pre>template &lt;class T&gt;
+struct vector
+{
+     typedef unsigned size_type;
+
+     explicit vector(size_type) {}
+     vector(size_type, const T&amp;) {}
+
+     template &lt;class I&gt;
+     vector(I, I);
+
+     // ...
+};
+
+template &lt;class T&gt;
+template &lt;class I&gt;
+vector&lt;T&gt;::vector(I, I) { ... }
+
+template &lt;&gt;
+template &lt;&gt;
+vector&lt;int&gt;::vector(int, int) { ... }
+
+template &lt;&gt;
+template &lt;&gt;
+vector&lt;int&gt;::vector(unsigned, unsigned) { ... }
+
+//  ...
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Label this solution 'A'.</p>
+
+<p>The standard also says:</p>
+<blockquote>
+ Less cumbersome implementation techniques also exist.
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+A popular technique is to not specialize as above, but instead catch
+every call with the member template, detect the type of InputIterator,
+and then redirect to the correct logic.  Something like:
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+<pre>template &lt;class T&gt;
+template &lt;class I&gt;
+vector&lt;T&gt;::vector(I f, I l)
+{
+     choose_init(f, l, int2type&lt;is_integral&lt;I&gt;::value&gt;());
+}
+
+template &lt;class T&gt;
+template &lt;class I&gt;
+vector&lt;T&gt;::choose_init(I f, I l, int2type&lt;false&gt;)
+{
+    // construct with iterators
+}
+
+template &lt;class T&gt;
+template &lt;class I&gt;
+vector&lt;T&gt;::choose_init(I f, I l, int2type&lt;true&gt;)
+{
+    size_type sz = static_cast&lt;size_type&gt;(f);
+    value_type v = static_cast&lt;value_type&gt;(l);
+    // construct with sz,v
+}
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Label this solution 'B'.</p>
+
+<p>Both of these solutions solve the case the standard specifically
+mentions:</p>
+<pre>vector&lt;int&gt; v(10, 1);  // ok, vector size 10, initialized to 1
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+However, (and here is the problem), the two solutions have different
+behavior in some cases where the value_type of the sequence is not an
+integral type.  For example consider:
+</p>
+<blockquote><pre>     pair&lt;char, char&gt;                     p('a', 'b');
+     vector&lt;vector&lt;pair&lt;char, char&gt; &gt; &gt;   d('a', 'b');
+</pre></blockquote>
+<p>
+The second line of this snippet is likely an error.  Solution A catches
+the error and refuses to compile.  The reason is that there is no
+specialization of the member template constructor that looks like:
+</p>
+<pre>template &lt;&gt;
+template &lt;&gt;
+vector&lt;vector&lt;pair&lt;char, char&gt; &gt; &gt;::vector(char, char) { ... }
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+So the expression binds to the unspecialized member template
+constructor, and then fails (compile time) because char is not an
+InputIterator.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Solution B compiles the above example though.  'a' is casted to an
+unsigned integral type and used to size the outer vector.  'b' is
+static casted to the inner vector using it's explicit constructor:
+</p>
+
+<pre>explicit vector(size_type n);
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+and so you end up with a static_cast&lt;size_type&gt;('a') by
+static_cast&lt;size_type&gt;('b') matrix.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is certainly possible that this is what the coder intended.  But the
+explicit qualifier on the inner vector has been thwarted at any rate.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The standard is not clear whether the expression:
+</p>
+
+<pre>     vector&lt;vector&lt;pair&lt;char, char&gt; &gt; &gt;   d('a', 'b');
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(and similar expressions) are:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>  undefined behavior.</li>
+<li>  illegal and must be rejected.</li>
+<li>  legal and must be accepted.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>My preference is listed in the order presented.</p>
+
+<p>There are still other techniques for implementing the requirements of
+paragraphs 9-11, namely the "restricted template technique" (e.g.
+enable_if).  This technique is the most compact and easy way of coding
+the requirements, and has the behavior of #2 (rejects the above
+expression).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Choosing 1 would allow all implementation techniques I'm aware of.
+Choosing 2 would allow only solution 'A' and the enable_if technique.
+Choosing 3 would allow only solution 'B'.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Possible wording for a future standard if we wanted to actively reject
+the expression above would be to change "static_cast" in paragraphs
+9-11 to "implicit_cast" where that is defined by:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>template &lt;class T, class U&gt;
+inline
+T implicit_cast(const U&amp; u)
+{
+     return u;
+}
+</pre>

+By straw poll (1-6-1), we chose to require a compile time error.
+Post-Kona: Howard provided wording.
+]</i></p>
+
+<p><b>Rationale:</b></p>
+<p>The proposed resolution fixes:</p>
+
+<pre>  vector&lt;int&gt; v(10, 1);
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+since as integral types 10 and 1 must be disqualified as input
+iterators and therefore the (size,value) constructor is called (as
+if).</p>
+
+<p>The proposed resolution breaks:</p>
+
+<pre>  vector&lt;vector&lt;T&gt; &gt; v(10, 1);
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+because the integral type 1 is not *implicitly* convertible to
+vector&lt;T&gt;.  The wording above requires a diagnostic.</p>
+
+<p>
+The proposed resolution leaves the behavior of the following code
+unspecified.
+</p>
+
+<pre>  struct A
+  {
+    operator int () const {return 10;}
+  };
+
+  struct B
+  {
+    B(A) {}
+  };
+
+  vector&lt;B&gt; v(A(), A());
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The implementation may or may not detect that A is not an input
+iterator and employee the (size,value) constructor.  Note though that
+in the above example if the B(A) constructor is qualified explicit,
+then the implementation must reject the constructor as A is no longer
+implicitly convertible to B.

+Operations like <tt>pow</tt> and <tt>exp</tt> on
+<tt>complex&lt;T&gt;</tt> are typically implemented in terms of

+Should implementations write this as <tt>std::sin</tt>, or as plain
+unqualified <tt>sin</tt>?
+</p>
+
+<p>The issue, of course, is whether we want to use
+argument-dependent lookup in the case where <tt>T</tt> is a

+transcendentals, as discussed in issue <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#226">226</a>.</p>
+
+<p>This issue differs from valarray transcendentals in two important

+unspecified." (26.2.1 <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lib-numerics.html#lib.complex.synopsis"> [lib.complex.synopsis]</a>) Second, the standard does not
