Whatever you may think, C and C++ are not defined by ANSI.  They're
defined by ISO's JTC1/SC22, working groups 14 and 21, respectively.
While it is very nice of ANSI to adopt the result of that work as
national standards for the US, it is largely irrelevant for the
remaining 6 billion people on the planet.

And please get a proper MUA, so I don't have to fix your quoting when
replying.
