Yes I agree that it would be nice if we could have -fhonor-std and
-fnew-abi. Does -fnew-abi mean -fsquangle also? I am a little unclear
here as to what the deal about -fsquangle is? Is it meant to be stop
gap arrangement for NON -fnew-abi code, since -fnew-abi doesn't have the
problems which needed -fsquangle (or it does -fsquangle by default)?
What I'm worried about is template code bloat without -fsquangle. I've
seen some examples without -fsquangle that scared me. They were contri-
ved though. Like for example would code using libstdc++ get very bloated
without -fsquangle? Maybe I'm missing something basic here?
Thanks,
Shiv
