I confess that I wondered about that as well - Jens if the gcc column in
the compatibility chart has been modified slightly (by adding <limits>), is
it possible to either add another column for vanilla "off the shelf" gcc,
or just add a note to the page explaining how the default install needs to
be modified.  I guess if gcc v3 is only a month or so away (is that
correct? anyone have the inside track on this?), then maybe just do
whatever is easiest for now as I assume that this will become a non-problem
soon (although I seem to have been saying that for while....!).

- John.
