  A colleague of mine, who is a chair of ANSI C++ Committee, told me once
  that the most bizarre feature requests come from the committee members
  who happen to be independent C++ consultants. Industry representatives
  usually just shake their heads in disbelief.

P.S. Now, if I were an independent C++ consultant, I wouldn't push too hard,
after all -- even they should remember what happened to the Tower of Babel.
