747 * @brief Quick and easy way to eat whitespace
749 * This manipulator extracts whitespace characters, stopping when the
750 * next character is non-whitespace, or when the input sequence is empty.
751 * If the sequence is empty, @c eofbit is set in the stream, but not
752 * @c failbit.
754 * The current locale is used to distinguish whitespace characters.
756 * Example:
757 * @code
758 * MyClass mc;
760 * std::cin >> std::ws >> mc;
761 * @endcode
762 * will skip leading whitespace before calling operator>> on cin and your
763 * object. Note that the same effect can be achieved by creating a
764 * std::basic_istream::sentry inside your definition of operator>>.
