--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Could you clarify the suggestion? Should your first example warn because
std::locale is only declared not defined? What if we later modify <string> so
it does include the whole of <locale>, would that stop the warning? The user
code is just as non-portable so the warning would be just as useful. But to
warn even if the right header has been included would mean tracking whether it
was included directly or transitively, and if transitively then deciding
whether that was included by "the user" or not.

Should this warn?

  #include <string>
  #include "foolib.h" // includes <locale>
  void f (std::locale);

Would it depend on whether foolib.h was a system header?

Also, we'd need to be careful so that we don't warn about referring to
std::ostream without <ostream>, because <iosfwd> exists specifically to make
that possible.
