Well implementing an "experimental language design extensions in GCC" will 
(perhaps greatly) increase the chances that it will appear in the next 
C++ standard.  Furthermore much like "format" attribute, it will not 
change the behavior of a "correct" program.  By "correct" I mean a program 
witch does not override a virtual function which is marked as "final".
