Many C++ runtime implementors have reached the conclusion that the C
runtime is far more efficiently and effectively implemented on top of
C++ (rather than the inverse); however that idea seems to meet
(non-technical) resistance (I have no workable theory of why).
Anyway, It seems there is no hope to see C++ as a first class
implementation language be accpeted for parts of GCC-3.5 :-(
