The only compilers that support this are the EDG based ones (Comeau,
Borland, ...).
Couldn't find anything on it in bugzilla, and I don't think it's worth
the effort. IIRC, Herb Sutter and another guy spent 6 months to get it
right in the EDG front end (and Herb originally wanted to throw export
for templates out of the standard alltogether).
