Do you know if this new version of GCC will have a more
standard-compliant standard C++ library?  The iostreams interface
isn't correct according to the standard (or the standard as I know it,
i.e. The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup and the Second
Draft), the basic_string isn't complete, char_traits are missing,
stringstreams are also missing to mention a few of the problems I have
encountered... Do you know if any of these issues has been addressed
in GCC 2.95?
