[std.manip, ext.manip] Better titles for "Standard"/"Extended" manipulators #7198

Open frederick-vs-ja opened 1 month ago

It seems a bit misleading that the standard distinguishes some manipulators with words "standard" and "extended", as all of these manipulators are standard library components.

Maybe "basic" and "extended"?

Although "extended" isn't very descriptive, extended how? What distinguishes them is that they take extra arguments by reference and read/write to those objects. The basic manipulators only take scalar args by value, and so only modify the state of the stream, not any by-reference args.
