I was going to apply a patch that I've got to fix the existing C++ for
the any-day-now release. I.e. I was not going to change the API or its
internals, just get the existing API/internals to cooperate with the
"new" C++.

No. Do it on your own time and get it all worked out, tested and that
sort of thing. As many questions as we get repeated about 2.5.4a, it'd
be good to get something out there that people can use with their
newer compilers, etc.

John, you've done great work and I am continually amazed at the amount
and quality of that work.
