Not at all. The reason is exactly as already stated, namely that people 
seem to assume that the linker has no intelligence, or that there is a 
linker in first place. Nevertheless, the C++ standard doesn't even 
define linking, and the world is no longer that simple. Thus, I still 
don't see how this argument applies. Surely the C++ world works 
different from the java world, but saying that there is no duplicate 
code in Java or that there is always code duplication in C++ is surely 
wrong.
