Yes, STLport can use this trick, too, but unfortunately none of the symbols
it can shorten come into play here. It's a nasty hack but I guess that doing
this for names in boost::detail might actually help since many are used and
we can also #undef them later. Then again, it might not be sufficient either
so I think I'll take an approach I know will be reliable.

FWIW, the symbols which are breaking look like this, /after/ I've played
lots of tricks in STLport to shorten the names of its debug iterator
symbols.
