[libcxx-dev] Removing deprecated <ext/hash_set>, <ext/hash_map> and <ext/__hash>

[Dimitry Andric via libcxx-dev]

Well, it would be interesting to do a FreeBSD ports exp-run with these headers removed.  You'd be surprised how much software is out there using obsolete, experimental and/or not even officially existing headers. :-)

Those headers contain data structures like __gnu_cxx::hash_map that have replacements like std::unordered_map. I would like to remove those headers. I've put up a patch for review but I won't commit it until we have a sort of plan because I know some people have expressed feelings about removing the headers in the past: https://reviews.llvm.org/D57688 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D57688>.
