Not all that much, level "Nuisance".  It breaks "make check" rather
close to the end when one is using fuzzy g++ options.  So it is a
failure to adhere to C++ standards, with annoying consequences for
debugging and checking, but only when using non-default options.
Without those options, it works by accident.  No guarantees that it will
continue to work.
