It is true that if the compiler and the library are done by different
people, there can be problems.  But in commercial compilers, the compiler
and library are tightly integrated; in the case of glibc/libstdc++ and
gcc/g++, many of the maintainers all work in the same company.  So this
is not much of a problem.

In the case of things like __op: these are part of the name mangling,
which hasn't changed in years.
