I find it strange that characters with the high bit set is accepted
(as an extension) in ordinary (outline) functions and not in inline
functions. I see no difference in that respect.

I also discovered another possible bug. I may be abusing the C++
language, but I think it is a bug either way:

class c {
  const int MinValue = -100;
  const int MaxValue = +200;
};

Compiled with gcc -Wall -c, gcc says:
morebugs.cc:3: field initializer is not constant

If I remove the (redundant) + before 200, the code compiles OK.
200 is the same as +200, and in my opinion so should the compiler
think.
