It might be worth doing. I think that, in addition to a patch,
I'd like to see measurements (maybe just the size increase in
libstdc++.{a,so}). If the cost is small, I will not object.
Seeing what the debugging sessions look like before and after
will help assure that we're getting it right, especially at
the boundary: if we have
23 Foo foo = func();
24 int bar = 0;
then if a breakpoint is set at line 23, foo should not be in scope,
but at line 24, it should be.
