The C1x charter forbids invention - anything added to C1x must first have 
been implemented and deployed.  Unfortunately, some people have got the 
bad idea of smuggling inventions into C1x by first adding them to C++0x as 
inventions, then getting them implemented in C++0x implementations, then 
claiming that a C++ implementation is sufficient to add a feature to C.
