Pinging vendors for discussion.

In particular, @EricWF  it would be nice to know how Google feels about this, given that it's a large code base built using `-fno-exceptions` (presumably the dylib too?).

Also, @jwakely I'd like to know how you feel about the fact that `new(size_t, nothrow_t)` aborts instead of returning `nullptr` when the shared library is built using `-fno-exceptions`. Is that a concious choice you made in libstdc++, and if so, what's the rationale? Naively, I would say this surely seems a bit surprising, but it seems to be the only way to satisfy the Standard's requirements under `-fno-exceptions` (since the `nothrow_t` version must call the throwing version).
