In private e-mail, Steven Parkes has pointed out that this is not permitted
in standard C++.  Since that was not the point of the posting, please ignore
that part.  Sorry!

G++ does seem to permit this as an extension, but I don't have any of the
documentation for G++, so I don't know how it works, except emperically.
If anyone can tell me where to get this documentation, I'd appreciate it.
(If you do, please use e-mail or change the subject thread.  Thanks.)

Followups are again directed to comp.lang.c++.
