Garbage Collection.
While it is of course a little late in the day to add garbage
collection to C++ (though I would support such an augmentation), it
may not be a bad idea to provide some syntactic guidelines for the
standardization of the (optional) provision of garbage collection
by C++ compiler vendors.
Given the intimacy of the connection between memory management and
the language itself, it is not difficult to argue that it is more important
for a language spec to provide at least a definition of garbage collection
than it is for it to provide a definition of _any_ standard library.
