Based on their statements elsewhere in this thread, I believe Joe Buck and Geoff Keating share my opinions. I am so far the only person to have said out loud that this should be addressed by changing the C++ standard, but I don't think I am the only one to consider it. Also: why do you care so much about this corner case? I only care from the implementation perspective, since I doubt it matters to any real software that GCC might compile. I'm pointing out an approach to the problem which would avoid having to change GCC at all, saving someone a great deal of coding effort. You are arguing strongly for not changing this one tiny piece of the standard, and I don't understand why. zw
