Why immaterial?  I just cannot imagine anybody that *likes* this behaviour.  
If no one likes it, how can you call it reasonable behaviour (just because a 
C++ god nodded)?  If it is not reasonable behaviour, why can't you accept that 
it is a bug?  By the way, I think a `bug' here can really be a design flaw, or 
an enhancement request.

I posted about one day ago on comp.std.c++.  No one answered.  I do not know 
any better way to contact anybody that might be in the committee.

Reproaching me in this way won't help you, either.

I repeat one thing: I do not have the OP's problem.  As a programmer that has 
some familiarity with the language and the Standard, it is hard to encounter 
this kind of problems. --- People that encounter this bug most probably know 
little (if any) of the C++ Standard, and people know well about the Standard 
most probably won't encounter this bug at all. --- This fact strengthens my 
point that it is a bug.

If you had not spoken in this kind of tones, I might have been much more 
considerate and constructive.  However, I have already tried to be calm and 
constructive instead of being flamy.

I just cannot understand why you have never shown any patience and sympathy on 
this issue.
