10 And what exactly is required of a package providing virtual/tr1? If it
11 has to implement the entirity of the TR, then g++-4.1 can't provide the
12 virtual and the purpose is lost since the most used parts of the
13 extension will be those provided by GCC. If, on the other hand, you
14 require the virtual to provide only the parts currently implemented in
15 g++, what happens in the future for packages that require other parts
16 of the tr1 extension?
