That's not the standard we have for other C++0x features. Generally
the implementation and specification evolve together; we have the -
std=c++0x flag to control features that may still be evolving. If
we waited for everything to be fully specified before implementing
it, we'd be way behind other vendors--and the specification wouldn't
be as good because of lack of implementation
Seconded, that's exactly my philosophy for the library.
