Confirmed, also memory leak testing.

I think you are fine as-is. 

The general rule of thumb is, if you don't have to export it, don't. The
__gnu_cxx namespaces is set up to make this easy to do: nothing is
exported by default, you have to add everything. You only have to add
things when the symbol are needed externally: for internal symbols like
these, you're ok.

Me too. Congratulations, you've done an excellent job. I'm much happier
with this. The _M_facets trick works very well.
