Since each patch that adds functions is supposed to be reviewed, if
the review process were effective in enforcing coding standards, this
couldn't have happened.  I also see dozens of places in the compiler
where line breaks around operators (usually "=") aren't done according
to our standards either.

The existance of these things is a very strong argument against any
claims that "improper" use of C++ would be rejected.

Hi, I'm an outsider but... Why not creating a switch which would trim the C++ language to a "safe" subset? Then GCC could use this switch, and many projects (like Mozilla) could use it as well...
