No problem. If it comes out next year, just read it as a roman numeral.

But if it comes out in 2011, I guess they'd have to call it C++0xi.

Bah - not roman - hex! C++0xA of course!

Of course it's hex! I stand corrected. Obvious when you think about it.

It was probably in 1989 when I read a comment that Fortran 8x would have to use hex digits if it needed any longer. However, the released version was not called Fortran 8A, but Fortran 90.
