Actually in ios_base it should be called _M_exceptions().  We could add
an inline public member exceptions() that calls _M_exceptions(), but it 
would need to be guarded with a CPP "GNU extensions" flag.

We need to assign a name for such a flag, or several, and wrap all
the non-standard extensions (e.g. the STL stuff not in ext/).
