Discussion:

strstream::rdbuf has the same issue with a missing const_cast on &sb.

Somewhat amusingly, istrstream::rdbuf and ostrstream::rdbuf got this right, but each with a different style (see issue 252).

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4750.

1. Change 99 [depr.strstream.oper] p1 as indicated:

   strstreambuf* rdbuf() const;
   

   -1- Returns: const_cast<strstreambuf*>(&sb).
