Anyone up for creating a list of additions to c++ and putting it to a vote? I'm thinking that we could vote on each item with I like the idea I'm neutral but think it has some merit I'm neutral I'm neutral but think it has too little merit I'm against it I like the idea but think it would be too expensive to implement I put the last one in because I was once involved in a project that had such a vote on enhancements. One enhancement that got a lot of pro-votes turned out to be hideously expensive. There was no way in the vote to raise a red flag on it. The product died because 1) it was a mainframe product and pc's took over; but 2) no one was willing to pay the price for the one new enhancement and it couldn't be excluded. Greg Brewer P.S. If you want to do this, respond with a list. Try to exclude items that have already been posted. And keep the items short. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
