Will there be any notion of an expected failure in this testing system?
I'd really like to make function_test an expected failure for compilers that 
can't handle it instead of hiding the problems behind #ifdefs (there's no 
feasible workaround AFAICT). How's a vendor or user ever to know that there's 
a problem if we slip an #ifdef around the things that don't work?

It's very nice! One little nitpick: '<' seems to be replaced with "&lt" 
instead of "&lt;" in the -links document.
