It's either wait or roll your own. Though lucky for you C++ is a very
popular language with good support. So it shouldn't be too long.

"long long long int" ?   :-)

They probably think you can just use GMP lib, stricmp / strcasecmp,
etc. (Or roll your own. Or use a different language.)

G++ has always been pretty good and available since late '80s, I
think, but even other people admit it only truly got great around 4.2.
I think one guy [who?] then called it the "best in the world" at that
point [citation needed]. As for adding more stuff, there will always
be more to add. Sometimes you have to stop inventing and start
stabilizing, implementing, etc. This is why C++11 only has stuff from
circa 2006 or such [citation needed]. Bjarne Stroustrup probably
doesn't want to sweat blood working on such standards for the rest of
his life. It's already hard enough to implement (e.g. GCC uses a hand-
written parser and not Bison [citation needed]).

But what's the command to burn a Blu-Ray disc? Users demand it!  ;-)
