It's not me saying this.  I am just repeating the CLC party line.

Ask Leader Keith.  He'll tell you.

It has always been CLC policy that C++ is just as off-topic as Fortran or
C# or any other language (other than C, of course).  And, of course, that
being "off topic" is the highest and most unforgivable sin.

Just ask Leader Keith.  He'll tell you.

Leader Keith will tell you that we are not here to solve problems or to
discuss programming techniques.  We are here to debate minutiae of the
various standards documents.
