I leave it to the g++ testsuite to test implicit instantiations. It is
not the intention of the 22_locale/*.cc tests to deal with instantiations
of any type. Instead, they should test that custom facets can be compiled
correctly by the headers.
The 22_locale tests I was thinking of changing anyway, and this just
helped convince me that it was a good idea.
In my check in email to gcc-patches, I said that the locale testsuites
were made consistent: some of the facet tests had compile-only, some
didn't. Now they are all compile only.
Sorry if this was unclear.
I'll look at integrating your patch into what was done last night shortly.
