Wait a minute. Of course I agree with what you are saying about C++ vs long
long. But what about the requirement in 24.1 that difference_type is a 
signed
integral type? We cannot even hope to fulfil it and keep streamoff as a 
class
type. I believe this is the point of the PR.

Keeping streamoff as a class type, basically amount to closing 14320 as 
"WONTFIX"

Do you think we should do this? I would agree with you, by the way...

Paolo.
