General Language Changes
A number of CLR language features changed from Managed Extensions for C++ to Visual C++ 2005.
The changes described in this section are a sort of language miscellany. It includes a change in the handling of string literals, a change in the overload resolution between an ellipsis and the Param attribute, the change of typeof to typeid, a change in the calling of constructor initializer lists, and the introduction of a new cast notation, that of safe_cast.
