The point is that right now, it's a few lines of code in one library.
After the change, these lines of code will have to be duplicated in lots
of libraries. IMHO, duplicated code is bad - it's a waste of programmer
time.

C#, Fortran, Pascal and Java would require a major effort for support.
C++ requires these few lines. Please don't willfully make life harder
for C++ programmers.

Re: Consistency: Yes, adding the appropriate lines to other public
headers would make sense. It wouldn't even need a version bump :-).
