[Bug libstdc++/29134] Has there been a serious attempt to define the max_size() member functions?

The reason I bought this up here, is because I thought (and I could be wrong,
sorry) that the overflow was being caused by the fact that we allow the
container size to get too big, and if we pull max_size() down to a proper
level, then the container should never have to deal with arithmetic overflow.
Of course as a QoI issue, we might want good behaviour even if someone tries to
resize a container larger than max_size.
