I am interested to hear what is your recommendation to do instead, call good()
after every IO operation?

In fact, I think that with inheritance from system_error iostream exceptions
finally got (barely) usable. But because of this bug (which is now pervasive)
we will probably have to scrap the use of exceptions. So I am genuinely
interested to hear about the alternatives/recommendations.
