I just got a press release from Borland that says their upcoming 5.0
compiler will support keywords and, or, not, that are synonyms to &&,
|| and !. 

They say you can use those if your local keyboard makes it difficult
to write the traditional tokens. Hell, my local eyes make it difficult
to read them. Does that mean I can from now on just write
	if (0 <= x and x <= 1) . . .
and be in conformance with ANSI C++?

That is, are "and", "or", "not", now reserved words in ALL C++
programs, or do you actually have to reside in a foreign country and
first use some preprocessor (like that trigraph filter) to get them?

If the answer is "they are reserved words in the language", then I'll
add
	#define and &&
	#define or ||
	#define not !
into my personal setup file today, until my compiler understands them
natively. Hooray!
