+// Asking an XML input archive for a name which is not there throws, and the
+// caller is entitled to catch that and carry on.  The failed read has by
+// then consumed the closing document tag, so the destructor finds end of
+// input where it expected the trailer.  That is normal termination, not a
+// stream error, and the (implicitly noexcept) destructor has to complete
+// cleanly rather than terminate the process.
+
+// This is the route into windup() that issue #99 named but left untested:
+// test_xml_trailing_whitespace covers a truncated archive, where the tag was
+// never written, while here the archive is well formed and an earlier failed
+// read ate the tag.  The archive is destroyed normally, not while an
+// exception is in flight.
+
+// Reported by tsondergaard in
+// https://github.com/boostorg/serialization/issues/109, with a program this
+// test follows closely.  Thanks!
