You should have checked the minutes for the voting on that paper:
Alternative Straw Votes
Remove export 8
Leave in export 28
Discuss more 7
No more discussion 30
(see http://xrl.us/b7v2)
In particular note the 'Leave in export' and 'No more discussion'
votes.
There is a long thread about this somewhere in the comp.std.c++
archives.
In any case it may be that gcc will someday provide export; see:
