I see, that could be expected considering how brittle are the inlining
decisions ;) Now I don't know if we can find a concise way to espress
the idea that, as long as inling happens, the mechanism works for
std::string and std::wstring, otherwise doesn't. In any case I thing
something along this way *is* needed, together with clearly mentioning
__gnu_debug::string/wstring. For 4_0, at least, maybe for 4.1 we can
eventually do better.
