 This is not quite true. We definitely prefer having the implementation for
all 3 major platforms (GTK, Mac, MSW) but it's acceptable to have the
functionality for just one or two of them if it doesn't have any negative
effects on the remaining platforms. I.e. in this case the code must still
compile and work not worse than before on the other platforms too.

 Sorry, I really have no idea why would this happen.

 It's similar to std::vector (it's a subset of it in fact).
