Ah. Hmm. I have noted a tendency to treat newer C++ features as if they were
some sort of science fiction. Features such as dynamic_cast are currently
available in widely-used commercial implementations of C++ as well as being
part of the emerging standard.

I think it would be best to leave out phrases such as ``ANSI/ISO C++-to-be''
as possibly prejudicial. Alternatively, one could start a flamewar by trying
to be fair by applying matching adjectives to Ada9X and Eiffel.
