Just to clarify: in my original posting I was using the word "stable" to 
refer to the language specification and not the compiler itself. A 
library writer would prefer a stable language to design against over one 
that is perceived as being in a state of flux. Compiler bugs are a fact 
of life. Obviously the fewer bugs the better, but bugs can be worked around.
