If I recall correctly, this change was made because of some
differences in the way a narrow character stream based on
char_traits<char> behaves and the way the general Traits may behave.
At that point, I seem to recall that the goal was to have a general
implementation  of that function plus the special case.  I'll have to
go back and check my logs, unless Benjamin has a better recollection.
