The problem is that the Standard Library in use is not always the one provided 
with the compiler. See the cases of libstdc++ with Clang and Dinkumware with 
QNX's GCC.

If we're going to use certain Standard Library features that weren't 
previously checked with Q_COMPILER [*], I'd like a survey of our target 
platforms to confirm the features are present and work, then we can produce a 
whitelist.


[*] The following Standard Library features were already checked:
 1) <atomic> by Q_COMPILER_ATOMICS
 2) std::move and std::forward, by Q_COMPILER_RVALUE_REFS
 3) <initializer_list> by Q_COMPILER_INITIALIZER_LISTS
