Discussion:

Issue 396⁽ⁱ⁾ adds defaulted arguments to the to_string member, but neglects to update the three newer to_string overloads.

[ post San Francisco: ]

Daniel found problems with the wording and provided fixes. Moved from Ready to Review.

[ Post Summit: ]

Alisdair: suggest to not repeat the default arguments in B, C, D (definition of to_string members)

Walter: This is not really a definition.

Consensus: Add note to the editor: Please apply editor's judgement whether default arguments should be repeated for B, C, D changes.

Recommend Tentatively Ready.

[ 2009-05-09: See alternative solution in issue 1113⁽ⁱ⁾. ]

Proposed resolution:

replace in 22.9.2 [template.bitset]/1 (class bitset)

template <class charT, class traits>
  basic_string<charT, traits, allocator<charT> >
  to_string(charT zero = charT('0'), charT one = charT('1')) const;
template <class charT>
  basic_string<charT, char_traits<charT>, allocator<charT> >
  to_string(charT zero = charT('0'), charT one = charT('1')) const;
basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, allocator<char> >
  to_string(char zero = '0', char one = '1') const;

replace in 22.9.2.3 [bitset.members]/37

template <class charT, class traits>
  basic_string<charT, traits, allocator<charT> >
  to_string(charT zero = charT('0'), charT one = charT('1')) const;

37 Returns: to_string<charT, traits, allocator<charT> >(zero, one).

replace in 22.9.2.3 [bitset.members]/38

template <class charT>
  basic_string<charT, char_traits<charT>, allocator<charT> >
  to_string(charT zero = charT('0'), charT one = charT('1')) const;
38 Returns: to_string<charT, char_traits<charT>, allocator<charT> >(zero, one).

replace in 22.9.2.3 [bitset.members]/39
```
basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, allocator<char> >
  to_string(char zero = '0', char one = '1') const;
```
39 Returns: to_string<char, char_traits<char>, allocator<char> >(zero, one).
