True.
To fix this, we need to add a pile of hack that take care of
this specific use case. The end goal is to have a pile of hack
for every single use case, as this is what C++ has and C++ is
successful and we want to be successful.
Introducing a construct to manage ownership would obviously
avoid the whole pile of hack, but hey, this would introduce
complexity to the language, when the pile of hack do not.
AMIRITE ?
The devolution of conversation in this thread to snide remarks,
extreme sarcasm and thinly (if at all) veiled name calling is
counterproductive to solving the problem. Reasonable people can
disagree without resorting to passive-aggression.
