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.
