   I think that nroberts actually wanted to refer to POD classes, not to   
   POD types (like int) in general.   
      
   If that is not what you where trying to say: A is not a POD type in   
   C++03 (This would require it to be an aggregate type, thus it excludes   
   all types with a user-provided constructor). It is also no POD type in   
   C++11 but now only because it does not have a default constructor (This   
   is somehow an astonishing result given the fact that a deleted default   
   constructor is considered as trivial).
