Exactly. In an ideal world, where the language standard corresponds to what people perceive as being standard, beginners shouldn't know or care about pragmas, which by definition enable non-portable and experimental features. And the last thing a beginner should do is to enable ALL of those obscure features. > (and they just turn a load of them on without even thinking about it > what they do, but hey, the code works now!...) That is an unfortunate situation in which we are now, and which could be improved by releasing a new standard incorporating the most tested and widely-used features.
