No, everyone has a difference subset so we won't agree. There's nothing to enforce it automatically. No subset of C++ is nice. And any subset would probably become invalid as C++ marches ever onwards to every new buzzword and must-have feature. No. :-) Cheers, Ralph. -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
