<iosfwd> also standard for std::string declaration?

[landrum Alfred]

I'm trying to reduce my compile times.  I have several
headers that are including <string>, even though they
only need a declaration.    

I noticed that <iosfwd> on my RH8 box includes
bits/stringfwd.h.  

Does this imply that including <iosfwd> is a standard
way to get a forward declaration of std::string?   

Thanks,
Alfred Landrum
