[Bug libstdc++/14493] No std::bad_alloc::what() const

["zack at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

It appears to me that the original reporter wanted what() to return
an "intelligible error message" a la icc's "bad allocation", rather
than "St9bad_alloc"  (which does communicate the same information but
in a more cryptic fashion).

I do think there should be a place in the standard library for nice 
friendly names for exceptions (think strerror()), but I don't know 
if what() is that place.
