 C++ compilers have been getting pickier over the last couple of decades
gradually. Programmers who have been using a succession of Microsoft or
GCC versions over that time have made the changes incrementally, but
doing them all at once would be a bit of a shock.

Why do I think of:
VAX C 3.x -> DEC C 4.x -> DEC C 5.x
back in the 90's?
