Nope, but I like to see that too (with uniary/binary operations,
commutative and precedence control on both new and existing types,
and generic type determinable parameters to procedures and static vars,
and variable width bit fields and *optional* garbage collection and
stardard bit ordering access and exception handling and ....)

But it just ain't there and isn't likely to be added anytime soon
(as there is not yet a 'true standard' published/accepted).

Till then we'll just have to repair our tricorders with stone knives
and bearskins.
