It would only be for a "debug" build--where the extra information would be
usable, and where the user has made some explicit choice that performance
is not as important as extra information. That's the idea behind a
checked STL implementation, which will assert if it detects something
invalid.

The issue of different layouts is a problem. I had not considered that.
Now that it's been brought up 3 times, I'm thouroughly aware of it ;)

I have tried to modify autoexp.dat in the past, but have failed. I'll
give it another try before looking for another solution.

Thanks for the feedback,
