Re: C++'s 'export' Keyword?

Oh yeah, it is a big project. Something that may probably span two

involved; (3) to have support in binutils and some build tools.

Doing all the work necessary (and doing it well) for 'export' to be properly implemented really does seem like an awful lot of work for just 'export'. But if it was not just for C++'s 'export', but something that was more generally useful for various languages...

Now, where would be the right place for me to post my vision of how compilers, assemblers and linkers for the future might be?
