Re: [v3] c++0x <system_error> CD updates

Patch is Ok, thanks. Note, we are exporting two symbols, system_category
and generic_category, which depend on the resolution of DR 890, and, in
principle, we will not be able tor "unexport" until the next
ABI-breakage (even if for C++0x features the rules are more lax...
Actually, C++0x exports should be probably in a class apart, we briefly
discussed that with Benjamin already). Thus, let's make sure to review
the issue when the release of gcc4.4.0 approaches.

Yes, I was also slightly surprised by that (well the counterpart in the
previous WD). You may want to ask on the library reflector...
Thanks again,
