I think it is a tragedy. While reading about why not to use C++, or STL, 
or Boost, the biggest issue I've seen recently is "template error 
messages are too large and meaningless". Bjarne has said that one 
C++0x's was to make it more user friendly, but it appears we will lose 
the biggest feature towards that goal.

Also, export is an entirely different issue with a much narrower 
potential usage scenarios.
