And this is often unavoidable.  Look at all the workarounds in Boost
code for various versions of the MS compiler, for example (particularly
VC6 vs. later versions).  I can't think of how much code I've written in
C++ that used preprocessor switches to vary implementation between
compiler versions, even though they all claimed to support C++98.
Fortunately, a little experience with the quirks of each compiler makes
transitioning code fairly mechanical in most cases.
