When the C++ standards committee make decisions crippling the language to preserve ABI (see std::regex), it's defacto part of the standard.

ok. But do they still need to scan it separately? I take contact lens fluid and I always have to wait for someone to check it before moving on.

Why does the example not show an example of unsafe C++?
