Resolve issue LWG 1328 one way or the other, but preferably in the direction outlined in the proposed resolution, which, however, is not complete as-is: in any case, the sentry must not set `ok_ = false` if `is.good() == false`, otherwise `istream::seekg`, being an unformatted input function, does not take any action because the sentry object returns false when converted to type `bool`. Thus, it remains impossible to seek away from end of file.

Proposed resolution:

Addressed by paper n3168.
