   I don't think that works. - If I see what they've done (to "C" and to   
   "C++") to fix (or add) things; it seems it's rather getting worse.   
   And, in that light, whom do you do a favor with such changes; if you   
   want to stay widely compatible you can't really fix it (but details).   
   Don't forget that bart's criticism had (at least partly) touched even   
   the heart of "C" design. - There's a reason why so many new languages   
   appear, and some even get established.
