RE: [Dev-C++] keywords

This is not really new, you could use it since VC4.2 (Microsoft ~1995)
The only thing was you had to include <iso646.h>:

/* iso646.h standard header */
#ifndef _ISO646
#define _ISO646
#define and		&&
#define and_eq	&=
#define bitand	&
#define bitor	|
#define compl	~
#define not		!
#define not_eq	!=
#define or		||
#define or_eq	|=
#define xor		^
#define xor_eq	^=
#endif /* _ISO646 */

/*

 */

The reason for this was that at the moment of talking about a new standard, 
there were keyboards with ugly ways to access the ^~| and & key.
(And still at some keyboards you have to look a second time to find the
right key)

By the way guys and girls, did you know that in C++98 you can do:


#include <iostream>

int main()
{
 int x=1, y=2;
 
 if(x>y or x*y==2)
  std::cout<<"Beep beep\n";
  

  y=y bitand x;
  
  x and_eq y;

}



That is to use keywords instead of || etc symbols?
