I would like to ask the same question. Once an API is present in the C++ runtime library, my feeling is that it should be there forever, for very long definitions of forever. I don't even think we should move headers; for example, it seems better to create a new include directory to put new functionality into than to move old headers out of existing include directories. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
