That's crap and you know it. If this would be a valid argument the
char function must not even exist since they don't allow to write any
program which has the chance to survive while being executed by all
the different users.
I don't have any interest to continue this since I it wouldn't lead
anywhere. Just for those whoare innocent enough to not be exposed to
this. Nathan represents the people who wrote this standard, who claim
they have no flaws, that C++ is the one and only, and who cannot see a
single problem what they did. Everything bad is caused by those stupid
C people. Let's just say not everybody agrees with this. So take all
which is said with a grain of salt.
