### Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior
--- | --- | --- | ---
LWG 349 | C++98 | the exposition-only member `delim` of std::ostream_iterator had type const char* | corrected to const CharT*
