I believe that this is definitely the system to go for.  It meets all
reasonable needs, except ...

those of us stuck with MSVC++ will have to manage without for now?

Should we use this as a 'gauntlet' to throw down to challenge Microsoft -
"make your compiler compliant enough to compile (and run!) this code!".

(or else take the C++ label off the product!)
