Ahh... too late: already submitted a new issue.  Feel free to merge it
or close as duplicate as it makes sense.

Fair enough... I was just surprised to see it (mainly since I didn't
remember what the CPL was and generally keep up on such stuff)

No biggie... I just figured I'd ask about it since I noticed it before

W.R.T. c++ developers, I had offered a while back to try to help out
with a couple of things but then I got sick and when I came back the
