While reading parts of the April 1995 draft I noticed that the section on
preprocessing seemed to be pretty much the same as the ANSI C
preprocessor. Was there a concious descision to make no changes? What if
any are the differences between the proposed C++ preprocessor and the
existing ANSI preproccor?. One change I was hoping for was the inclusion
of a non-fatal "#warning" directive to match the fatal '#error" directive.
(hey, the compiler can make both errors and warnings, why can't I?). As
you probably know, a number of compilers support the #warning directive.
Additionally, adding some reccomended pragmas such as (I am sure there are
other "standard" (or annoyingly non-standard) pragmas I could think of if
pressed);

#pragma once
#pragma unused funcname varname{,varname...}

would have been nice.
