Depends on what you mean by "purely". If you mean we control them, then 
yes, they are purely GNU.

However, i'm pretty sure they were discussed (as were other extensions) on 
the reflector before they were implemented, so as not to cause gratuitous 
problems with other extensions, etc.

I'm sure Jason Merrill can correct me if i'm wrong about this.
