I believe the string template "getline" was accidently omitted from
the April 1995 draft. It is in the September 1995 draft.

BTW, Plauger's book represents a snapshot of the draft standard as
of about March 1994. Some library features have changed substantially since
then, although some areas haven't changed much.
