Hmm, but there's no facility for renaming functions. And I need those 
declarations, because they have to be friends of exception_ptr.

So we're back to the variant where I need libsupc++ in 0x mode or some 
other PP symbol as a libsupc++ condition.

Or I could implement the functions as inline stubs that just call the 
uglified variant, but is that a good solution?
