In all the world, I think there are possibly 7 people who fully know C++, and they're all on the C++ standards committee. There are, however, many programmers who know enough C++ to a) be able to use it effectively and b) know where to look when they come across some esoteric aspect of the language. I think it all follows the 90% rule.

I came across an aspect involving the width of an enum when having an int constructed from it just last week. Oh wait, that exists in C, too. And then there's the returning static thing from that poster on TMC. Except that's also the rule in C. Let's ban C, it's too easy to make silly mistakes.

Kas.
