[RFC] type safe trees

[Richard Kenner]

    This would only be an issue if you are using C++ features like exception 
    handling and class definitions that require vtables and 
    constructors/destructors to be handled by the linker.  

Right, that's what I said.

    The proposal was to use only a tiny set of C++ features.

The *current* proposal.  But I think everybody agrees that once we take
that first step, it's going to get easier and easier to add more.  There's
the real question, given human nature, of whether it's best not to take
that first step.

That's basically what I see as the heart of the debate.
