Should "not, and, or, not_eq.." be used in c++
<p>So it looks like all these: <a href="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ciso646/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ciso646/</a> are keywords in c++.</p>

<p>My question is. Is this a part of the c++ standard? </p>

<p>Can I rely on this to be supported by major compilers? I know gcc does support these keywords.</p>

<p>Finally, perhaps this is more a preference or style question, but are there any advantages to using the keywords over the standard operators (!, !=, &amp;&amp; ... etc)?</p>
