Which unfortunately only applies to the overload of getline() that is
there described, the one taking an array of chars, not to others such
as the one taking a string -- Mr Kanze pointed out the discrepancy
between the "extracts no chars" and "appends no chars" wordings used
in the two places.  Let's indeed hope it's just a minor editorial
oversight (perfectly understandable, as Mr Kanze says, given the huge
amount of work the editors have been doing!) that's going to be fixed
at some point... with the public comment period closed, is there any
way to submit such concerns to the committee...?
