 Yes. An alternate solution would be
 
   cout.setf(ios_base::fmtflags(0), ios_base::floatfield)

 Well, I may be wrong, but in the _final_ standard I cannot find examples 
 of a 'plain' 0 but always ios_base::fmtflags(0). Otherwise, make use of 
 what I replied earlier today.
 
 Barring any additional clarification on the '0' vs ios_base::fmtflags(0) 
 issue, I would close the PR.
 
 Ciao, Paolo.
