help! I might be lost :o

do you mean that

  if(__cerb)

should be
 
  if( this->good() )

for all 27.6.1.2.2 Arithmetic Extractors

if so, I'll give it a shot and report the results and/or post the
patch. please, feedback before Friday afternoon, or I'll spend the
weekend completing my current approach/solution to this issue, which
invloves sentry::sentry() _not_ setting eofbit, in spite of DR 195.

thanks.
