I think this is a mistake.   Our documentation has never been good
enough for people to rely on the absence of documentation as meaningful.
 One of the most frequent complaints I get about GCC is that we break
existing code with every release.  Apparently, we do this much more
often than other other compilers.

You're clearly not going to agree with me.  So be it.

Please ask your fellow libstdc++ maintainers what they think.
