Slippery slope arguments are not helpful in language design or for that
matter most kinds of design. Each decision is distinct. Guido must weigh
a host of costs and benefits every time. If a "benefit" is compatibility
with C and the costs are low or non-existent then he will choose to be
compatible with C.
