Yup. I need to go now, so pardon for yet another link (you might want 
to read the entire "Memory isolation" thread):

Many moons back BTW, I was told that

"....
 For your information, this subject was discussed at the last 
 meeting of the British C++ standards panel, and the consensus 
 seemed to be that it was an issue worth pursuing further. This 
 doesn't mean it will be dealt with by the next C++ standard, 
 but it is one step closer."  

"this subject" == "Memory isolation"
