Most of the uses are currently violations of the style guide (e.g. using the
Standard Library (other than the C++ wrappers for standard C headers)). The
only exception to that is the wrapper around the gtest header inclusions. So
no, I don't think we need to do anything about this in the style guide. (My
prototype / proposal for permitting more use of the Standard Library makes use
of this same mechanism. The new helper files originated there, and this change
lets me eliminate one of the commits in that work.)
