The two portable declarations of 'main()' are (3.6.1, basic.start.main,
verse 2 of the April DWP):
  int main()
  int main(int ac, char *av[])

All other declarations of 'main()' are non-portable but every
conforming C++ (or C) compiler has to provide at least the two
mentioned above.

I am a realistic optimist - that's why I appear to be slightly pessimistic
