Please, let's stay on topic. Tom has requested, and has a valid need for:
1) full C++ class semantics, including construction/destruction
2) exception handling
I don't think it's necessary to debate that these requests are
reasonable, nor do I think it is necessary to define at this moment what
is acceptable use, now or in the future: that's for maintainers in the
future to deal with. These kind of limitations are precisely what has
put this whole question on the table.

ps. thanks mark for letting the rest of us know that the SC is
contemplating this issue. I propose "oracle at gcc dot gnu dot org" for the rest of
us to ask the SC questions.
