No, I'm not kidding you. It's a good idea to have an understanding of
the ISO standard before claiming compiler XYZ to be "absolutely ANSI 
compliant".

It's too bad that you chose to ignore my hint about "std::" prefix in
the post you're responding to -- you could have looked it up by now. 
If you have questions regarding the std namespace, please follow up
in C++ specific forum.
