Just out of curiosity, are these deficiencies in the Sun compiler (i.e. not
behaving in compliance with the C++ standard)?  Or are they just "quirks" of
the compiler that haven't been adequately hacked around yet?  And if the
former, has anyone submitted bug reports to the Sun guys?  I had several
standards-compliance issues fixed in the early days of the 5.0 compiler by
submitting bug reports (well I don't know that they fixed them because of
ME, but I do know that several of the bugs, as reported, were fixed in a
patch).
