Patches that use MI inappropriately would be rejected.
I have serious trouble being confident of that. This is similar to
our documentation requirements, that functions need to each have
documentation on what they do and on the parameters. However,
somehow we have picked up at least 100 functions that are not
properly documented.
Since each patch that adds functions is supposed to be reviewed, if
the review process were effective in enforcing coding standards, this
couldn't have happened. I also see dozens of places in the compiler
where line breaks around operators (usually "=") aren't done according
to our standards either.
The existance of these things is a very strong argument against any
claims that "improper" use of C++ would be rejected.
