A milestone would seem to have been reached.
I would assume that since a news group has been created
to discuss C++, that the language has gained some
measure of popularity in a short time.
How about a few words from the makers of C++ about where
the langauge is currently and where it is likely to go?


What features will be added? 

Could the C++ C subset input language ever conform to 
ANSI standard C ?

Can the C++ output langauge conform to ANSI Standard C ?
	E.g. ANSI standard C is proposed to have only
	     31 character identifiers. The output of C++
	     frequenetly uses more characters than that?

Will programming environment support tools and predefined 
classes be bundled?

				In wonder of it all,
