I agree completely. I wish they'd take a new look at their current iostream
classes, too.

Agreed.
It seems that most compilers out there adhere at least to the last draft
of Dec 96. The degree to which they are compliant, however, often (at
least with GCC) leaves much to be desired.
I've looked around a bit and have found some fairly standard
compiler/front-end vendors that aren't necessarily
big names and might merit a look (even for the FreeBSD and Linux
developers):
http://www.pgroup.com/ppro_cplus_desc.html
http://www.kai.com/C_plus_plus/index.html
http://www.comeaucomputing.com/
Of note, I believe all of the above use the Edison Design Group's C++
front end:
http://www.edg.com/cpp.html
The three people of that group were heavily involved in the C++
draft standard and the list of features they support is both lengthy and
fairly complete.
