Nevertheless, we could use a note documenting the parts of TR1 that will
be in 4.0.0, how to use it, etc., and make sure to warn people that it is
experimental (meaning that the libstdc++ team makes no promises about
backward compatibility, so the users might have to revise their programs
later on should the committee make changes).
