------- Comment #3 from mikel at att dot net 2005-11-03 01:28 ------- Mea Culpa. It was supported by the other compilers I use (MS and Sun), and it seemed like such an obvious thing to want to do, and I didn't think anyone would want explicitly to exclude it, so I didn't check the standard. I'm *very* sorry to have wasted your time. FWIW, I discovered a workaround at http://www.byte.com/documents/s=9162/cujexp0312wilson2/
