The point, to me, seems to be that we (again) simply picked up
an extension in g++ (this time from C99) and never really considered
all the implications this may have on being consistent in all
situations :-(
The only cure, to me, seems to be to simply disallow VLA until some
standards committee exactly defines what they are supposed to mean
in C++.
