Ah, OK, sorry I've misunderstood.  I think I see your point now.  Since
I like antique compilers, and since many software, when being properly
written, can be built just fine with GCC 4.2, I won't be a huge supporter
of this proposal, but OTOH this situation probably won't last long, so
I won't profoundly object either.
