Discussion:
Classes basic_ifstream, basic_ofstream, and basic_fstream all have a member function is_open. It should be a const member function, since it does nothing but call one of basic_filebuf's const member functions.
Rationale:
Not a defect. This is a deliberate feature; const streams would be meaningless.
