well we use bad_cast class directly, so if no other include imports it, then why
not to include. looking at c++ reference <typeinfo.h> is normally used for
casts.
what seems really strange is that you dont have to use it
until the change to alpha1 happens.
maybe to work out some minimal example .cpp file like
class to_local8bit_failure : public bad_cast {};
and various g++ params can bring some insight whats happening.
