Re: [sv-ec] Problems with Appendix D - "Linked List"

I thought that <> could not be used for a file of "the 101 most useful
macros", but was restricted to header files mandated by the standard?
Such a usage of <> would be very convenient, because macros cannot be
distributed using the package mechanism.

Well, my inclination is to say "yes".  There is nothing else in
the LRM that requires it and since package std now exists, it seems
unlikely that there would be any compelling reason to have anything
in required include files.  That isn't a strong argument, since
the <...> form could be used in vendor specific ways without having
to adopt packages.

So, if it came to a vote, I'd vote in favor of removing it at
this point, but I don't think that I'd initiate such a vote.

Gord.
