Isn't it interesting that at PCC, at least a few years ago, I was told
that I cannot take a C++ class there and do the homework with the G++
compiler...  The textbook intro stated that the book taught only
ISO/ANSI standard C++.  Now if Microsoft's compiler, today, is more
non-compliant than G++ 3.0, then for certain it was at least as
non-compliant then.
