Michael --

Could I register a request that some future release of G++ have a mode
in which (at least) the exception handling mechanism is disabled?  I
have to compile code I don't own (Mach include files) that happen to
use 'catch' as a structure field tag.  G++ can't compile these include
files; I have to go through some hassle to get things to work.  I
can't really see myself going to the people in charge of these files
and saying, "Uh, could you please not use 'catch' as a name?"  I think
they would have a legitimate objection if they said, well, this is a
include file for C, and we're willing to some work to make it C++, but
if G++ is going off and defining a new language...  (Note that I'm not
accusing anyone of this, just proposing it as a somewhat
understandable objection.)

In more generality: it would be nice if there were an AT&T
compatibility mode.

For what it's worth...
