Just before I'll pop you back in my killfile, I'll ask you to explain
the point.  Because this wasn't a gratuitous pop at C/C++ it was an
important explanation of why something worked in one and not in the
other, and not because of a new feature, but because the semantics of a
keyword have subtly changed.

I have to say, for a troll you have astonishing patience, but surely
there's something more productive you could do with the hours and hours
you spend on this.
