The confusion is perhaps that you're thinking that my statement that we need to specify the semantics is clearly implies that I don't think it's a useful feature? I do think it's a useful feature, but I also think that you can't just drop it into C++ without thinking about all the consequences of that action. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
