Sorry, but what is C++1x? The current standardization effort is
working toward C++0x. Is 1x some unofficial discussion of possible
futures?

The ongoing C++ standard revision has taken the shorthand "0x" in
expectation that the work would complete balloting before 2010.

I'm not sure whether it's official, but given that we're now in mid
October of 2009 it seems very nearly impossible that there will be a
final balloted revision of the C++ standard in 2009. Some people at
least have revised the shorthand to "1x". Most likely x == 0, and
there'll be a 2010 edition; but one never knows... ;-)

Yes, thanks, I'm well aware of all that. My comment was tongue-in-cheek.
