Dear gcc contributors,
could you please answer a few questions about std::map? Does gcc have
a policy that forbids using of map in the source code of gcc? Can this
using create a new installation dependency, which requires libstdc++?
I would be very grateful for your comments.

This suggests that using std::map is allowed. Running "grep 'std::' *"
on gcc, we only find a couple of std::make_pair, std::min and std::max
calls, but I don't see why we should not use std::map. I would say go
for it if there are no vetos. It seems to be the right tool for what you
are aiming for and certainly makes the code a lot more readable.
Cheers,
Tobias
