Use of trigraphs in C++ Standard Library headers prevents disabling their use in custom code.

xlC -q'notrigraph' impossible to use in any program using C/C++ Standard Library headers.

The IBM XL C/C++ headers use trigraphs. This is an archaic feature that we want to not allow in our source code. Unfortunately, use of -q'notrigraph' is not possible.

We would like the option to be usable. Lacking this, the document should be updated to indicate that -q'notrigraph' cannot be used if we include any standard library header.
