Well, libstdc++ 3.1/2 certainly uses them for at least 8 months now,
and is*_l has been around for a couple of years.

Anyway, if you think it is possible to reorder the struct (and
thus force recompilation of all C++ 3.2 programs - __ctype_* fields
are accessed from /usr/include/c++/3.*/ headers, so it isn't just
libstdc++ recompilation which is necessary), __ctype_ fields
should be certainly at the beginning so that __LC_LAST can grow.
