</div>Yes we can. Somewhere there's a line between unsupported features and<br>
buggy compilers. That's not automatically at "whatever 4.7.0 compiles<br>

Otherwise we'd have to disallow any statement.<br></blockquote><div></div></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Exactly!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I don't think we should be relying on a specific release of a specific compiler for feature support.
