Well implementing an "experimental language design extensions in GCC" will
(perhaps greatly) increase the chances that it will appear in the next
C++ standard. Furthermore much like "format" attribute, it will not
change the behavior of a "correct" program. By "correct" I mean a program
witch does not override a virtual function which is marked as "final".
