Hi

it's close to completion, I'm hoping remaining 5% of work does not 
strech to 50%. Basically what is missing in mechanism in gcc/cp/call.c 
to actually bind implicit *this object to rvalue or lvalue, and the 
difficuly here is that "this" object is internally defined and bound as 
a pointer, and not as a reference as prescribed by the standard.

Well there is also a question of paperwork (disclaimer of rights) from 
my employer which does not seem very forthcoming.

I wanted this piece of work to be in version 4.7 but frankly this seems 
unrealistic now.
