I was asking more about how (or perhaps, who) to get started on a
fix/workaround.

If you want to add something to config, it might be a good idea to
write that in a post with [config] in the subject line, or to open a
ticket. Although I prefer Eric's boost::nullptr_t, adding things to
'std' is a bad idea, precedents notwithstanding.
