I use the 3L C++ system, which is a port of of cfront 2.1 front-ending
the 3L C compiler. I have been using it heavily for about four years
now. It is a "plain vanilla" system - no optimisation, no cleverness
anywhere, but works very well. I would like to have the C++ 3.x
features, and support for the 20450, neither of which is likely to
appear. Otherwise I am very happy with it.
