Careful here.  First, catch the wink.  Second, GCC is not an option 
for my main programming.  I have used it for compliance checking on 
this particular library in the past, and will do so again before 
formal submission, but the workload involved here prevented my 
testing with multiple compilers if I intended to share the library in 
progress (which is almost a necessity for this particular library).  
So if you're trying to push your own agenda with GCC, your comments 
will fall on deaf ears (no matter my opinion of MSVC, it's the 
compiler that makes a living for me), while if you were just pointing 
out that I could have tested with GCC, you're only partially correct.
