indeed.
I guess it's the first time, thanks to Borland's 2 branches (kylix /
Borland C++ Builder) using intertwined version numbers, that one
compiler's version number does not simply follow chronological order
(thus, presumably, increasing standard conformance)
The compiler-specific non-conformance workarounds with version tracking
nightmare is getting an extra bit of insanity..

BTW, I think kylix, alias __BORLANDC__ = 0x570, was already behind BCB
0x562 on some issues,  was it not ?
