What's troubling here is that people are blindly accepting the "fact" that C++ compilers _have_ to be slow. (It may be that C++ is such a difficult language to compile that compilation speed is the least of a compiler writer's worries. Ada has a similar problem in this respect. Perhaps the language is unnecessarily complex--my opinion only.) -- James Hague exuhag@exu.ericsson.se
