It's beginning to look more and more like an stdcpp is achievable.

The implementation of it, however, is going to be ugly and very specific to each 
C++ compiler. The user shouldn't need to have to see that ugliness, though.

It also means that implementing stdcpp is going to require someone who is very 
willing to go spelunking around the underbelly of C++ ::std:: and understand it, 
which is a tall order.
