Discussion:
In the description of operator<< applied to strings, the standard says that usesthe smaller of os.width() and str.size(), to pad "as described in stage 3"elsewhere; but this is inconsistent, as this allows no possibility of space for padding.
Proposed resolution:
Change 27.4.4.4[string.io] paragraph 4 from:
"... wheren is the smaller ofos.width() andstr.size();..."
to:
"... wheren is the larger ofos.width() andstr.size();..."
