In Borland v5.02 the -A switch generates complaints from standard header files
such
as <iomanip>, so -A is not terribly useful.

Off topic, <iomanip> uses some pragmas bracketing the template declarations in
an
attempt to suppress the complaints.  However, the templates aren't compiled
until
the file is parsed, by which time the pragmas have reset the warning
suppression.
Is there anything in the standard that addresses the context necessary to
handle
this kind of deferred compilation?

The 5.5 compiler is light years beyond the BC++ 5.02 compiler ( there has been
Borland C++ Builder 1, BCB3, BCB4, and BCB5 in the interim ) . The default mode
still is 'Borland extensions" however so the -A switch still needs to be used for
string ANSI code.
