> The amazing part about examples like that is people read them, check that the compiler really does work on that basis, and then continue writing things in C++ anyway.
That isn't idiomatic C++ and hasn't been for a long time. Sure, it's possible to do it retro C-style, because backward compatibility, but you generally don't see that in a modern code base.
