Re: ...still not quite complete for C++11 and C++98

"All in all, the 1998 standard for C++ was not the language's finest hour, and lessons have been learned."

Sadly the lesson as to when to leave well alone hasn't. C++ is a dogs dinner. Now they're just adding syntactic sugar such as lambda functions, user liberals and language threads (pthreads arn't hard and if threads, why not process control too? In fact throw in half of Posix!) which mean yet more syntax to learn for interviews and debug when fixing someone elses code.
