Is it possible first to outline what libstdc++ v3 does with its
wrappers?

For example, does the installation of libstdc++ headers change the
library's system headers in any way?  Are we up against the invasive
nature of GCC again?

It is also not clear to me whether installing the libstdc++ headers
automatically means that the system C headers are wrapped with its
wrappers, even if the program includes stdio.h, not cstdio.

I don't see anything wrong with this idea, but I'd like to understand
the libstdc++ effects a bit better, before we decide.

I'm not good in inventing names, so I'll let others make suggestions.
