 Yes, you're quite right... sorry. For some reason I thought that ISO 
 amendment 1 (i.e. 1994) would be the default :(  (Never assume and 
 all that...)  I didn't think that the default would be set so far 
 back! After all 1994 is all of 9 years ago and I'd have naively 
 thought that the dust would have well and truly settled on any issues 
 with that amendment by now -- ?
 
 While I'm writing, is there any sense for 'gcc --version' to also 
 output the default version of the language(s), as I presume this 
 occasionally changes. At some point, surely, you'll bring the default 
 up to a more recent standard...?
