Well, since I wasn't the original poster and I'm an expert C++
programmer, I assumed not . :)

Sometimes nasty code is just nasty code because the linguistic
constructs are nasty. STL is an example of this, IMO. Programmers
are actually *encouraged* to use that evil abberration :) as if
it were the "right" thing. Good grief. Compare all the Satanic :)
container class instantiations and their iterator declaration
counterparts to the simple containers of Python.

End of story.
