Discussion:
There is no requirement that any of time_get member functions set ios::eofbit when they reach the end iterator while parsing their input. Since members of both the num_get and money_get facets are required to do so (22.2.2.1.2, and 22.2.6.1.2, respectively), time_get members should follow the same requirement for consistency.
Proposed resolution:
Add paragraph 2 to section 22.2.5.1 with the following text:
If the end iterator is reached during parsing by any of the get() member functions, the member sets ios_base::eofbit in err.
Rationale:
Two alternative resolutions were proposed. The LWG chose this one because it was more consistent with the way eof is described for other input facets.
