   C++ contains may useful and very essential features but this 
doesn't means all of them should be very part of the interactive 
language. 

   I think we should be reasonable defining the target for the 
C++-like INTERACTIVE language. We must not demand ISO standard 
compliant ( that's the task even a huge software company can not 
achieve yet ) unless we want kill CINT as a reasonable compact and 
useful tool.

  I think the reasonable demand will be ONE way compatibilites. 

  As soon CINT provides posibility to load dynamically any 
pre-compiled class definition as one can solve any 
real problem. We should ask the code CINT understands been 
"compilable" by the "native" compiler and convertable to the kind of 
share/dynamic library. This way almost all problem could be solved.
