Martin Sebor updated STDCXX-78:
-------------------------------

              Severity: Usability
     Affects Version/s: 4.1.3
                        4.1.4
                        4.2.0
                        4.2.1
         Fix Version/s: 4.3
    Remaining Estimate: 4h
     Original Estimate: 4h

Let's see if this is worth doing in 4.3.
