Well, having two names for the same concept seems just as bad.
Especially since the traditional which_alternative will still
be defined and accessible.
We could have another #define hack to insert a _Pragma("GCC error ...")
if which_alternative is used in new-style attributes, but that's only
going to avoid some of the problems.
I don't think we should spend too much effort finding a reason not
to fix this...
Thanks,
Richard
