Overall the wiki document looks good.  I'd like to disallow

* Operators may only be overloaded for types which implement numeric
values, where the overloaded operators implement the usual numeric
semantics.

though.  I'd also like to avoid destructors where possible as we want
as many core data types to be POD.

Btw - can we intially just link with libsup++ omitting libstdc++ so
that we do not get the expected flood of convert-to-STL patches?
Or is the idea of an STL free gcc bad?

Thanks,
Richard.
