The alternative tokens (which aren't quite the MA> same as keywords) were added to C++ because some C++ operators use MA> characters that exist in ASCII but not in other national character MA> sets. When the issue was raised in this forum two years ago, none of the European contributers could think of any current software development being done using the old national 7 bit character sets. Everybody who needed national character support were using 8-bit character sets (or better). Has this changed meanwhile? --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. Submission address: std-c++@ncar.ucar.edu.
