Maybe in the documentation, I'm not sure, the documentation is lacking  
in various areas I'm afraid, and patches are always welcome, remember  
to always add in CC the libstdc++ mailing list, however. Otherwise, my  
point was simply that the project of implementing c++0x is ongoing, at  
an early stage in many cases, actually, consider that the standard is  
not even finalized yet, thus at best we can try to track the working  
paper, and in my opinion talking of *conformance* doesn't really make  
sense. Thus, in general terms, talking about *bugs* is rather  
inapproppriate unless you have solid evidence that the code already  
does its best to implement the last wd and/or you see a given feature  
marked as implemented in the implementation status docs. Again, in  
general terms, more than always with free software, this is the time  
for users (you?) to contribute, more than file aseptic bug reports.

Thanks,
Paolo
