If this gets implemented in gcc, I suggest a better way to define
"system header" than "presence of #include<> syntax".

Where I work, we *never* use

    #include "whatever.h"

because developers compile their files against a shared nightly build
area.  Consider having a .c file in the shared area and a .h file
being edited in your private work area.  Some vendors' compilers, when
compiling the .c file, will *always* look for the .h in the directory
containing the .c file: there is no way to override this.

So we always use the <> syntax so we have complete control over the
include file path.
