- Why has C++ stayed with the weak typedef? It has always seemed to
- me that it should provide a new type and not just a synomym. Some
- lints check for strong typing but I haven't found a compiler that
- will enforce it. I know this must have been debated at some point
- but I didn't find it in a FAQ. Could someone please enlighten me?
