1.4 Future directions

1.4.1 New technology

This Standard adopts certain words and practices that are increasingly found in common practice. New words have also been adopted to ease creation of portable programs.

1.4.2 Obsolescent features

This Standard adopts certain words and practices that cause some previously used words to become obsolescent. Although retained here because of their widespread use, their use in new implementations or new programs is discouraged, because they may be withdrawn from future revisions of the Standard.

This Standard designates the following words as obsolescent:
