C++ 2003 is C++98 with TC1 (technical corrigendum 1) rolled in -- in
other words, C++2003 is C++1998 with few defects in the standardese.
There are supposed to be no changes other than corrections of defects
(though the added guarantee of contiguity of std::vector stretches
the limit of what's considered a defect a little).
