State-Changed-Why:
    This is not a bug. Both istream operators are working as expected:
    
    - 21.3.7.9 says that
    if is.width() is greater than 0, maximum number of appended chars is is.width, with characters extracted and appended until n characters are stored
    
    
    - 27.6.1.2.3 says that
    if is.width() is greater than 0, maximum number of appended chars is is.width, with characters extracted and appended until n-1 characters are stored
    
    Okay?
