Yes, that is what I am saying.  I do not think it's worthwhile for GNU 
C++ to have a C++98 mode that is separate from a C++03 mode.  Much of 
what has changed in C++03 is clarifications to C++98; in those cases, 
it's not possible to know what C++98 should have done with the code, 
because the actual C++98 standard did not say.
