That's quite a statement! *YOU* are the one claiming standard conformance.
That's the reason why *I* argue in terms of the standard. I absolutely have
no problem with other design decisions if the rationales behind them are
sane, but you can't have both, standard compliance and non standard
compliance, decide yourself.

And yes, I have significant experience in both standard complaint and non
standard compliant futures. It took me quite a while to understand all
decisions but after all I'm quite happy that we adapted our implementation
to be aligned with the standard and now design library APIs and
applications that result out of that ecosystem.
