Can we conditionalize this in some way?  On a system without threads, or
if the user is explicitly writing single-threaded code, these functions
are in fact nothrow.  On an embedded C++ system, we don't want to pay
the overhead for thinking that every call to these functions might throw
an exception.

Thanks,
