Right.  The super-geniuses - like Stroustrup and his colleagues - 
understood what they were doing.  They understood that any language 
design decision is a compromise, and picked the balance that they 
believed worked best for the kind of language they were creating.  Then 
40-odd years later some mere mortal comes along and says they were all 
morons.

I don't need to be a super-genius to see that the answer is obviously A.

I can't stop you being obnoxious in your posts.  But I /can/ tell you it 
greatly reduces your chances of getting helpful answers to your posts.
