Which was what, exactly?

Perhaps.  Is there logic in that?

There is no problem.  There is however, backward compatibility [with C]. 
  Design your own language from scratch, and you will have no such 
constraints.

Any more bogus complaints from you?  How about the absence of power 
operator for built-in arithmetic types?

Don't.  It makes no sense for a standardized programming language.  If 
you need a new feature added to the language, go to 'comp.std.c++' and 
propose it.  *If* it has merit, it's going to be included in the next 
revision.

We're all bound by limitations in our lives.  Some limitations are 
inherent, some are artificial.  All of them serve some kind of purpose. 
  Here, for instance, it *might have been* the simplicity of 
implementing that feature.  But it doesn't matter.  The language is what 
it is now.  What is the damn point of "commenting on how it was a 
missing opportunity"?  There are probably hundreds of features that 
haven't made it into the language.  Are you going to seek them all out 
one by one and "comment" on them?  I see it as a waste of time, to be 
honest.  Unless, of course, you're using that "missing opportunity" to 
improve the existing language (when are we going to see a proposal from 
you in 'comp.std.c++'?) or to come up with your own (the name 'D' is 
already taken, so, what's yours going to be called?)
