Indeed, CC 5.0 is rather incomplete wrt. ANSI C++. CC 5.1 (aka Forte
6.0) is much better.
CC 5.1 and 5.2 are the only versions that should be considered. The
forthcoming version 5.2 is said to have "additional common language
extensions for C++ ease porting to the Forte Developer tools from other
C++ compilers". However, since it is good practise to wait for the first
patches, this doesn't help for the moment.

I think it expects nothing instead of "class".

Great.
