positives with an uninstrumented standard library. So I really don't
understand why this is an interesting thing to dig into.

That is new information to me so I'll have to take that into consideration.
What I was trying to avoid was breaking MSAN usability for end users of
libc++.
Since its unlikely that they have a instrumented standard library it would
be nice if their system libc++ didn't always cause the first MSAN failure.

Since __attribute__((__always_inline__)) seems to cause a lot of these
failures I imagine it is possible to reduce the FP's without removing the
extern template declarations.
In that case it might still be work putting time into.
