743 // [27.6.1.4] standard basic_istream manipulators
745 * @brief Quick and easy way to eat whitespace
747 * This manipulator extracts whitespace characters, stopping when the
748 * next character is non-whitespace, or when the input sequence is empty.
749 * If the sequence is empty, @c eofbit is set in the stream, but not
750 * @c failbit.
752 * The current locale is used to distinguish whitespace characters.
754 * Example:
755 * @code
756 * MyClass mc;
758 * std::cin >> std::ws >> mc;
759 * @endcode
760 * will skip leading whitespace before calling operator>> on cin and your
761 * object. Note that the same effect can be achieved by creating a
762 * std::basic_istream::sentry inside your definition of operator>>.
