<b>Addresses GB 57</b>

<p>The contents of <code>&lt;codecvt&gt;</code> are underspecified, and will take a reasonable amount of work to identify and correct all of the issues. There appears to be a general feeling that this is not the best way to address unicode transcoding in the first place, and this library component should be retired to Annex D, along side <code>&lt;strstream&gt;</code>, until a suitable replacement is standardized</p>

<p>Proposed change: Deprecate and move the whole of clause  [locale.stdcvt] to Annex D.</p>

This issue unintentionally became added a second time, it should be considered as a pure duplicate of LWG <a href="lwg-defects.html#2869" title="Deprecate sub-clause [locale.stdcvt] (Status: Resolved)">2869</a><sup><a href="https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/issue2869" title="Latest snapshot">(i)</a></sup>. 
By a wit of fortuity, both issues can also be transformed into each other by transposing the last two digits of the issue numbers.
