Nope.  There will be no `restrict' in g++; only `__restrict__'.  If at
some point a new C++ standard introduces `restrict' in C++, we will
have a name for all the other new features introduced by that standard,
like -flang-cxx2005.  We can use `__restrict__' since it is reserved
for the implementation.
