Keeping an once of compatibility (or adding an option) between two minor
versions would have been appreciated. Or a pragma, whatever. Not all of us have
the luxury of a homogeneous development environment.

So does vim [flamebait right back at you].  However many of my colleagues use
visual c++ which does not have this feature (or not by default).

Yes. Not to mention the various behavior in floating point optimizations.  Most
of our Linux-using developers use gcc 4.2 on Ubuntu's latest "long term
support" release. But part of my job is to evaluate the compilers we have
available (or will have in the future). I therefore routinely use gcc from 4.1
to 4.4 as well as intel's icc and visual c++.

It's already hard enough being one of the few linux people in a windows shop,
you're not making my task easier.


Well, I guess you can't please everyone all the time. Wontfix it is.
 I'll patch my local copy.


Regards,
Romain
