Ideally you wouldn't have those extensions as-is, since they're still in
the user's namespace. Instead you'd get the extensions in the
implementation namespace so the user could define their own macros,
objects, functions by names that are not reserved in ISO C++, without
regard to whether glibc functions, types etc. using those names are used
in libstdc++. But that's even harder than having a feature test macro for
the particular features libstdc++ wants (under their existing names).
