Re: UTF-16 streams

Confirmed that this also fails with gcc trunk (as of about 5AM UTC
today).  The stack trace is the same.  Is there something I need to do
to use the ctype<char16_t> you've added?

Actually I can't spot that template specialisation in the trunk code
(ie `grep -r 'ctype.*char16_t.*'` returns no matches, either in the
source or in $HOME/gcc-5.0/include).  If you could have a look and see
if it's sitting in a workspace somewhere, I'd be grateful.

Regards,
Tom
