Yes. And recent standards made it yet worse - When I saw it the
first time I couldn't believe that this would be possible. ;-)

Unfortunately these days the C++ steering committee (or whatever its called)
simply seem to be using the language to justify their positions and keep
chucking in "features" that no one asked for or care about, with the end
result of the language becoming a huge mess that no single person could
ever learn (or at least remember if they tried).
