it's certainly a good idea to promote this. The snippet is a bit longer
than we usually have in this section, so let me try to propose a few minor
changes to reduce length a bit.

Can we merge "upcoming ISO C++ standard, C++0x" into "upcoming ISO C++0x
standard" and omit "to the GNU C++ compiler" (which I hope will be clear
from the context)?
Similarly, how about reading the second sentence "Enabled with..., this
offers..."?
If you have other/better/further suggestions please go ahead, the patch
as such is certainly fine (and I appreciate you even rotating older news
off to our backup page).
Thanks,
Gerald
