Out of interest, which parts of this will be binary incompatible?

It is obviously vital not to break the non-debugging containers and algorithms, but remaining internal functions won't do that, if you are careful.

Further (and I certainly don't speak for everyone), as long as you put them in a different namespace, I wouldn't mind a binary-incompatable debugging library. I do not know if there has ever been an assumption of ABI compatibility in debug mode, but I certainly haven't assumed it. Others may of course disagree.
