Yeah. :(

You're not alone.   On one part of the world it's not that big a problem. The
changes not break the existing (good) code (except that declaration in
for()).  And compilers tend to pick up and implement the new features.
OTOH some platforms are frozen. Say, Microsoft develop C++ for WIN32 but left
the 16 bit version as it was some 5 years ago. You can't write code portable
for WIN16 and WIN32 that really use C++.  There are no templates, no
exception handling, etc in 1.52.   (While writing code that is portable
between i96 based consurrent compilers is even harder for some reason.)
