Some of us do it all the time, because there's a lot of editors which can
handle looking for ^foo regexps but don't use any kind of tags file.

I'm not saying that libstdc++ should be done like that for this reason
alone -- if y'all think it should be changed then it gets changed -- but
that code didn't bother me when I first saw it, and it still doesn't even
cause me to blink twice.
