The thing that always irks me about c++ is this sort of thing:

> Explanation 1) Searches for the resource identified by h-char-sequence in implementation-defined manner.

Okay, so now I have to make assumptions that the implementation is reasonable, and won't go and "search" by asking an LLM or accidentally revealing my credit card details to a third party, right?

And even if the implementation _is_ reasonable the only way I know what "search" means in this context is by looking at an example, and the example says "it's basically a filename".

So now I think to myself: if I want to remain portable, I'll just write a python script to do a damn substitution to embed my file, which is guaranteed to work under _any_ implementation and I don't have to worry about it as soon as I have my source file.

Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
