This facility will introduce additional #ifdefs in "STL code" in the
short-to-medium term. If this proposal has a palatable rationale,
that rationale will be outside standard library implementations. It's
otherwise a fairly interesting idea, but it does suffer from
the downside that it exposes names that weren't designed to be exposed
in some existing class templates.
