Unless I'm missing something, the code being replaced would be perfectly
valid with a conforming implementation of the standard library, and only
causes a problem because STLPort isn't conforming. Thus I'd rather use an
#ifdef so that the replacement only applies to STLPort.

Is this something STLPort intends to fix, by the way?
