All of these functions come in two forms.

      function (FILE *, item_to_dump, formatting)
      function (item_to_dump, formatting)


Since we have switched to C++, it would be really nice to have dump functions
writing to a C++ std::ostream

If I understood correctly, including iostream may (depending on your c++ library) introduce static constructors in every translation unit. This could negatively impact the startup time of gcc.

LLVM explicitly forbids the use. If we allow it, it would be good if a more knowledgeable person thought about the possible overhead.
