Yes Yes!
This idea has been shot down a dozen times, and never for a good reason
(IMHO of course). I say we go ahead and do it, now that there is a
standard. We can just create our own header for any platforms that don't
support the standard.
This is a lot like the const correctness patch that finally got done. Its
not technically wrong or difficult. It's just tedious.
