Martin Sebor commented on STDCXX-292:
-------------------------------------

This is a "known" issue with the basic_string interface (see post c++std-lib-17449 to the C++ committee's reflector). It might (should) be possible to handle it by placing a suitable constraint (along the lines of "enable_if<is_integer<T>>") on the template, and according to the C++ committee it should be  dealt with by the introduction of C++ Concepts into the language (see post c++std-lib-17450). We might want to implement the enable_if trick until concepts is widely available.
