Just a quick update: by special-casing class_id_type and 
class_id_reference_type like I did for version_type I managed to get 
almost on a par with BCB6. The remaining four regressions appear to be 
due to something completely different.

I see your point. I wonder if a template based approach would be much 
more complicated. I say this because I can't see what may be causing the 
compiler to generate a call to the bool overload of operator>> and I 
fear that finding the magic spell by trial and error might result in a 
considerable waste of time.
