#pragma once standardized?

I have at a few places, where people have mis-heard/mis-read that that #pragma once has been standardized for C++0x. It's "not".

Even gcc has it labelled as an obsolete feature (for a couple of years now) - Obsolete once-only headers.

Since, it is not standard in the first place, one should avoid using it. The standard include guards "#ifndef" should the choice and with good compiler support, these are as efficient as the promise made by #pragma once. Plus they are guaranteed to be portable.
