Looks like this has become the active thread, despite my posting 
mistake/repost.  Oh well..

Yes, it would address my problem because that would be as it was pre-1.38. 
However, there must have been some argument for making the change.

Did you not make the change, then?  1.37 wasn't that long ago ;-).  Any SVN 
comments?
I know there have been several (non-library specific) discussions regarding 
putting anonymous namespaces in headers, and, generally, how it is a bad 
thing due to each compilation unit instantiating a different linker name for 
the same object (violating ODR?).
Is this a case that warrants it?  I guess it uses a little bit more memory, 
but is that the only issue?
