John, The difference between "what does cfront do" and "what is right" is moot when you are teaching. Why teach what the RM says if the software doesn't work that way? New C++ programmers want to know what to expect when they code and run programs, not what some AT&T manual says. When the X3J16 committee is done with its work (sometime in the 21st century), we'll have a standard to write about. Until then, it's folklore and prior art. Al
