...contrary to what c511c65434 "tdf#146619 Use
more forward declarations in include/tools" apparently assumed, as seen at least
with recent Clang 23 trunk against recent libstdc++ 16 trunk,

Old Tools (Deprecated)
Predates sal - string functions, url manipulation, stream stuff, polygons, etc.
Exact history is lost before Sept. 18th, 2000, but old source code comments show that part of the tools library dates back until at least April 1991.
This directory will be removed in the near future (see tdf#39445 or tdf#63154).
