I spoke too soon, we can turn the define into
static struct {
inline GlobalError* operator ->() { return _GetErrorObj(); }
} _error APT_UNUSED;
I guess. Adding this to the next 1.9 upload for experimental.
I mean, we could also make _error a GlobalError directly and add
the operator->() to that with the next ABI break. OK, I guess we'd
make it an GlobalError:instance then and add a using
_error = GlobalError:instance or something to avoid using
_error as a symbol name.

Assuming this works well, the fixed version will hit unstable around
March. Obviously aptitude can still fix it themselves, by including
the apt headers last.
