I see. Is it really a high mental load without the syntax? I seems to
just work in my programs but perhaps because I am the main programmer
and classes are very rare anyway.
Also, same syntax is said to help with template code but perhaps the
argument there is a template must be written either for value types or
reference types? I am not sure.

Luckily, in my experience such threads are not frequent. Still, we may
see a related topic at DConf. ;)
