Heh, I like how he says static if was proposed by "Walter
Brown." ;)
Is it just me or did it seem like most of the stuff in those
slides is already in D? I don't follow C++.
Walter Brown is a real person;)
Ah, I now see that he is, since he's listed in the footnotes for
the full Stroustrup rebuttal that Walter just linked, a
researcher from Fermilab with his own static if proposal. Still
funny that this Walter was left out, although Bjarne probably
sees so many names and people, maybe they just blended together
in his mind. ;)
