Rationale:

The streambuf synopsis already has a declaration for the typedefs and that is sufficient.

Date: 2010-10-21.18:28:33

Proposed resolution:

Remove [streambuf] paragraphs 2 and 3 (the above two sentences).

Date: 1998-12-15.00:00:00

Section 27.5.2 describes the streambuf classes this way:

The class streambuf is a specialization of the template class basic_streambuf specialized for the type char.

The class wstreambuf is a specialization of the template class basic_streambuf specialized for the type wchar_t.

This implies that these classes must be template specializations, not typedefs.

It doesn't seem this was intended, since Section 27.5 has them declared as typedefs.
