Maybe there is none ;-)

I'd claim the standard is wrong, and we shouldn't be afraid to fix it. Isn't the 5year coming up?! By having real world experience, we do, with the extension, we strengthen the case for it.

int i = 1;

to be substantially different from:

double i = 1;

:-( As far as extensions go, I've seen worse.
