GCC 4.0 has "experimental" versions of array, bind, shared_ptr,  
result_of, reference_wrapper, tuple, type_traits, unordered_map/ 
unordered_set. I think most of them are pretty sound, although I  
think "bind" still has some bugs with handling nested bind expressions.

I think that is a good idea.
