Currently there are no _M_exceptions() member functions in ios_base.
There are some non-standard public member functions in ios_base.
  iostate rdstate() const;
  void clear(iostate);
  iostate exceptions () const; 
  void exceptions(iostate);
It would be better to make all them protected.
I think it is not necessary to have this extensions.
