Partly because there's a difference between valid C++ and valid input to the G++ compiler :) Knowing that it works with g++ doesn't tell me that it's actually valid, and I don't feel like digging into the specs to find out where you're guaranteed to be allowed to do that. (I could probably test it with one of the language spec options, but then it still depends on the exact version of GCC and the exact spec chosen.)
