I think C++ experimentation came later --- g++ was well known to be unusable
in the 0.99 days. IIRC it was somewhere in the 1.1 series (my memory
suggests one of the 1.1.4x, and that the attempt actually lasted through
three point releases, but my memory isn't the most trustworthy thing on the
planet :-) that it was attempted.
