I will make an RFC when i get the chance. Also I'm sorry for 'bullying' you but you should learn to stay out of stuff that doesn't concern you. You don't know a lick of C++, you never write it, so you can't speak on the benefits of this, it is a non intrusive change that won't affect C, yet you're against it for some stupid reasons. Sorry for hurting your feelings, that was not my intention. Have a wonderful day John. Cheers, Lanre.
