The distinction is that with abstraction you have not much code but
a big effect. Take f.e. a dynamic_cast<> which does a downcast. What
the dynamic_cast<> does is simple, but compared to C it generates a
lot of code.

In C you have five to ten times the code and mostly boilerplat-code
to do the same thing.

In C++23 you can have a matrix class and a multidimensional array
-operator. This would result in the same code but much less effort.
