First: Under the current draft standard are all const object only given
an internal linkage, unless they have previously been given external
linkage?  I ask because I understood this was the case.  But, GNU G++
(at least 2.7.0) doesn't strictly follow this.  For example,

const char *messages[]={"Fun", "Stuff};
const char fun[]="message";

messages is made external, and fun is internal.  This seems wrong to me,
both should be internal.

Second: By the current standard is the complex class a template?  I ask
because old versions of GNU g++ and libg++ has complex not as a
template, yet g++ 2.7.0 and libg++ 2.7.0 make it a template.

Thanks,
matt
