Yeah, that's good news too, though it definitely helps that
Postgres is written in C.  Most of the conformance improvements
are in the C++ front-end and the C++ Standard Library.  Still
no export though.  I personally believe that projects should
move to C++ when possible, but I understand that there is still
a perception that C is fundamentally faster.
