It's hard for me to say -- I am in the Core working group, which meets concurrently with the Extensions group. Since the latter would consider any such proposal, and since I don't really know the dynamics of that group, I'm ill-placed to comment. > Do you personally favour nested functions? In general, yes.

It would also be more difficult to interface C++ programs with low-level assembly-language things like on-board controllers. I don't care about that personally, but I know that other people do. -- --Andrew Koenig ark@europa.att.com
