Actually that was not really really an extension before the standard
come out.  The rules changed with the standardization.  Really most of
GCC extensions to the C++ langauge that exist now (except for a few
new ones dealing with the C++0x standard) are all legacy extensions
before there was a standard.

Really it sounds like MS added this extension to their C++ compiler
before there was a standard.  I really think you should learn more
about this extension and give a fully documented specifications on how
it works.  Right now that is really the current problem with the
extensions in GCC, is that they are not fully documented on how they
work so people get confused when the behavior changes slightly.
