xml/manual/debug_mode.xml reference to Namespace Association

[François Dumont]

     I would just get rid of the part about g++ extension which seems to 
be obsolete or, if not already, will soon be. We just need to keep the 
part about C++11 inline namespace even if in g++ it is not limited to C++11.

     Something like:

   <para>Achieving link- and run-time coexistence is not a trivial
     implementation task. To achieve this goal we leverage on the C++11
     inline namespace extended in GNU C++ to previous modes, and a
     complex organization of debug- and release-modes. The end result
     is that we have achieved per-use recompilation but have had to
     give up some checking of the <code>std::basic_string</code> class
     template (namely, safe iterators).
   </para>
