I think Plauger gets mentioned because the standards folks liked his
*prose* so much that they decided to save themselves some work and use
it for the standard, citing Plauger's name in return. The fact that he
also wrote C++ code is irrelevant, since the C++ standard doesn't
talk about implementations.

If *you* had been around at the right time and written nicer prose,
maybe your name would have been on each copy of the standard. As it
turns out, it isn't. Tough.
