You can believe me that I would prefer tis as well.  If nothing bad
happens this wish will be reality soon.  The problem is that Nathan is
currently working almost alone on this since I'm working on a
different project in the moment.

This is why I want to see both implementations in the final package.
But I fear that we'll get compatibility problems then since different
machines running the same system can have different string code from
the instanciations in the libstdc++.
