Do *you* like it?  If you like it, then I suppose you like to frustrate GCC 
users?

Common users are not supposed to talk with the standard committee.  They may 
even not know it.  I have stated it clearly enough.

I do think it is a bug (also clear enough, as I still call it a `bug').  Even 
though it might be due to a bug in the Standard.
