  It's definitely a bug.  Whether the bug is in
the documentation or in the source, I can't say.
Personally, I think both are wrong, and the
correct signature is
template<class CharT, class Traits, class Sequence>
std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& operator<<(
  std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>&, Sequence const&);
