LOL, this is going a bit too far.  Gcc is far from perfect and I do use VC++
most often but I can also show you quite a few examples of valid C++ code that
Visual C++ 6 SP4 will choke on.  Code that was standard before its original
release too.  On the other hand, VC++ does compile this beauty (from a recent
microsoft.public.vc.language post):

int main()
{
    return (*****main)->~ilikejelly(0.1f, "troz", main.~oh("eh?"));
}

And I don't remember gcc giving me "Internal compiler error" every week or so...
