As much as I like Mike and respect what he has done, Gnu C++ isn't
C++.  Mike has elected, for various reasons, not to implement some
features and to alter others.  By and large, the things he has elected
not to implement aren't a problem for most people.

His handling of one or two things, however, creates interesting
problems, notable when things get inlined.

I would choose C++ 2.0 over G++.
