Try nested templates with detault arguments, or new-style casts. its
trivially easy to make G++ itself core with even fairly trivial exception
and standards compliant configurations (yes, I've submitted bug reports).
I haven't even touched its namespace support. G++ is just not physically
capable of handling several extremely useful language areas worth a damn
right now.
Yup, you can avoid those aspects of the language. Some don't always have
that choice. Some are unwilling to accept those restrictions.

I'd rather pay and get a compiler which at least keeps within a couple
years of the current draft standard. Just how old are the above features
now?
