That involves fighting with upstream, and really unnecessary iff
C++ interface was stabilized.
Requiring compiler name and version is not something that is inherent in
C++, just signifies that implementation of g++ has been unstable.
Not that it shouldn't be done, but pointing out that the idea is rather
too optimistic, and possibly restricted to gcc.
