If you know what is a "covariant return", it means that we still don't
implement it when the covariant return requires a pointer adjustment (e.g.
multiple inheritance), within variadic functions.

Yes, I'm already working on it as you have noticed. It's just that the
differences between C++98 and C++03 are mostly small details and corrections,
so I don't think most users would be interested in it. As for c++98 status, I
think it's mostly useless since we implement already all the main sections of
the standard.
