Topic: C9X & C++ -- who was working on...

For the life of me, I can't find my bookmark that links to someone's
excellent list of C9X/C++ issues. I know someone here was working on the
topic... and now my publisher is asking if we need to cover C9X in my
forthcoming C++ book.

I told him "no", based on conversations herein, since the C++ is explicitly
based on C89, and that C9X has numerous changes incompatible with C++.
Certainly, some compiler vendors will implement bits and pieces of C9X in
their C++ compilers, I don't see how any of C9X will affect C++ for the next
couple of years.

Or am I hopelessly naive? ;}

Opinions, as always, welcome.
