Writing the least common denominator code would eliminate the expressing 
of interesting and useful features of the language in our programs.

The example I provided is legal C++ code. Testing whether or not the 
compiler/linker emit/link the correct code should be a function of the 
infrastructure.

I am reading the autoconf, etc., m4 files trying to get a feeling on how 
the internal macros are written and what functionality is provided in 
them. So far I have not seen anything to offer support for linking a 
library. Do you know off the top of your head if such functionality is 
in there?

Thanks.
