Then if we back up the thread to where you said C programmers could just use a C++ compiler to get new features, you were clearly wrong.  Of course, we all knew you were wrong already, the only question was in what way you were wrong.

You think having to add an extra cast is so onorous that it doesn't count
as C any more? Any decent C dev would add it by default. Obviously I don't
include you in that grouping.
