The C++ ABI mailing list has been talking about whether or not the core
language ABI can change with C++0x because the library ABI will be
changing anyway. What is the library team's thinking about that?
Specifically,
1) Any plans to move to non-refcounted strings at some point?
2) LWG is moving this week to require container size() to be O(1), which
is not true of our std::list.
