I guess this is reasonable for most users. As I said, if these extra features
are required then there is still the option of Commeau C++.
I find that C++ makes programming 10 times the enjoyment of non-OO languages.
As for dynamic dispatching – I added that as an after thought to my message. I
haven't thought about how useful it would be on the Amiga, but it is used under
Microsoft Windows to bind specific events (like keystrokes & mouseclicks) to
particular objects that represent an element on the screen.
I wouldn't worry about this too much. I think it is better to implement the
standard features of the language rather than add features available only in
one other compiler produced by a company that makes a habit of creating
non-standard languages (Borland).
