OK, that's something different than what I read the first time around. I'm thinking that a good adjective would be "brittle", in the face of recalcitrant GCC releases. Look at the fun we've had over the years getting things that *should* be fairly intuitive to work correctly (such as "inline"). Having said that, if somebody comes up with something that actually works, I'd be OK with it...
