This change is a win for memory usage, so I think we want it.
In fact, I think we should turn it on by default for 4.3, and remove it
in 4.4. If, in 4.3, that means you need to configure it off for
Fortran, Ada, and/or Java, so be it. The Ada folks have, in the past,
said that it was OK to make this change, and that they would catch up.
I'm confident that Tom will get the Java front end in shape, and that
the Fortran folks will do the same with the Fortran front end.
