That's the usual tension between backward compatibility and development.
Clearly the Fortran maintainers, by starting again from scratch, and the
C/C++ maintainers, by steadily ditching language extensions over the past few
years, have chosen to favor the latter over the former. GNAT is probably not
so biased.

Agreed. :-)
