I hear you. The one "must have" feature in C++ that isn't actually in C++ but should be is real forward type declarations.

Remove the restriction where I can only declare things like a pointer to a type before the type itself is fully declared.

It might require using a GLR parser or something equally complicated to parse your code (like C# does) but given the complexity of a standards compliant C++ compiler already, what's changing the parsing engine used by most C++ compilers to something more advanced in the big scheme of things?

Basically to bottom line it, I want to be able to declare my types anywhere in my files and use them anywhere in my files.
Real programmers use butterflies
