ah now a longer list..

error handling.  Should be a way to handle this.  Again, apps need error
handling...

That's a problem.

That's also a problem.  Guarantee devel-opengl won't be ported to embedded
C++.  The pre-libsigc++ could though.

Useful tools but there ARE other ways.

Handy.  Not a necessity.  auto* or equiv can set whether or not this is
present.

>    * runtime type identification (RTTI)

not necessary.  Only once seen a useful implementation actually- Watcom
C++...

>    * new-style casts

X = new [obj]?
Weird.  Why'd they pull that?  EC++ is -not- C++ then.

>    * virtual function tables

okay, EC++ is not c++.  Wonder what they kept?

*eeps*

agreed.

G'day, eh? :)
