C++ standard (C++98, but AFAIK no changes are planned for C++0x) doesn't
have designated initializers, only C99 does.  The g++ front-end supports
very limited subset of the old style designated initializers as a GNU
extension, but nobody wrote support for the C99 designated initializers
as GNU extension for C++ FE.
