Absolutely not! Especially since MSVC and Comeau reject it. (What does 
EDG do?)

This incompatibility is not so minor, on the other hand. Many old C++ 
programs rely on incorrect for-scoping, and many compilers support this 
compatibility feature.

Still, extremely low priority. As Doug says, implementing the standard 
is hard enough without implementing compatibility features and compiler 
quirks.
