@pandaman: Just a minor nitpick about the statement that C++ library is not a part of the language: How come 'new' (builtin language operator, and reserverd keyword) can throw 'std::bad_alloc' (library construct) then? ;)

New itself does not throw, the allocation function does. Nobody makes you use the library allocation functions.
A better nitpick would be dynamic_cast throwing under some conditions. But then, how does it make iostreams the part of the language? There is just a typedef in the std namespace that aliases the type for some optional, compiler specific, data.
