I will browse the code. I have never delved into the standard library
code, always been a little afraid to. Thanks for the help.

One little question though, which relates purely to the standard and
libstdc++. Your original reply you said:

> Essentially right, this is Table 52.

Does this mean that YES, the standard requires that num_put work with
any output iterator type? And if so, in the next part of your reply:

> On purpose. Table 51 only mandates that has_facet<num_put<char> >(loc)

Are you implying that num_put<char, char*> would be considered an
additional facet on top of the standard ones that each locale is
required to support? Sorry to beat this, but I really want to understand
that before I move on. Thanks.
