As far as I can see, only the overload of __uninitialized_fill_n_a 
taking std::allocator is so trivial to warrant very safe inlining (it 
just forwards to std::uninitialized_fill_n). I'm going to adjust that 
(barring objections).

Note, however, that this change doesn't "fix" the issue debated here, 
which, contrary to the initial report in this thread, was *already* 
there pre-4.0 compiler + library (I tried 3.3.4 and 3.4.4).
