Give us more standard datastructures, instead. The answer to everything in C++ involves a boost library right now; focus on fixing that. This looks like an awesome <i>library</i>, but completely unnecessary as a core part of the language. Also Cairo is marred in LGPL. Are we going to get a standard that legally requires the use of a separate, dynamically loadable binary? The actual spec for this is just an ABI for their specific implementation.
