	I'm here and I'm working on it. We are trying to ferret out all
	the dark corners and get them specified. We need a complete,
	comprehensible and generally available description of C++; one
	that doesn't change all the time and one that isn't merely a
	description of a product. We will get it. However, such things
	do take time, so don't be too impatient. The only thing worse
	than reading a reference manual is writing one.
