Please don't interprete events without knowing the background. It was an unintentional push due to git $#%^$#^ behavior. The patch is under review and discussion and the test fallout that triggered it is a bug in the test suite. The libc++ behavior here is plain wrong and that is generally agreed upon. Joerg
