Thanks for your observations Wolfgang. Your efforts on g++ are
definitely appreciated, and I look on in amazement at some of the
reduction feats that you have pulled off in bugzilla.

This will, of course, make the libstdc++ include files bigger for
everybody else... but perhaps only marginally so.
You could put a feature request in bugzilla about this so it's not
forgotten.
