I wish :-) I stayed away from using them as those are only defined 
_after_ including an stdlib header. I.e. they aren't defined by the 
compiler but the runtime files. But if you think it's safe to assume 
that the runtime info is defined I'll use them. And I would guess 
similar changes should be made in other places?
