Please don't interprete events without knowing the background. It was an
unintentional push due to git $#%^$#^ behavior. The patch is under
review and discussion and the test fallout that triggered it is a bug in
the test suite. The libc++ behavior here is plain wrong and that is
generally agreed upon.
