You can say that about any 10 features of C++.  It is why I bailed on  
it.

Virtual inheritance BTW, while theoretically available - didn't  
become reliably implemented across compilers until around 1996.   
Considering that I started using C++ in 1992 - I never felt  
comfortable using it as everytime I tried some platform somewhere  
would turn out to have a broken implementation.

Pure abstract virtual base classes was the only thing that worked well.

Templates were like that too - the only ones that worked were the  
ones you could inline.

Ah the memories - must remember to get them wiped.
