I'm on my phone so can't ask git for details, but l just added it here, so 
either I bluntly missed it somehow, or it got removed in the meantime, which 
would be concerning for re-adding it here…

That's just the C++ grumpy old guy talking, because it's simply not true 😉
Sure C++ has more memory management goodies, but you have to use them in the 
first place, building the current codebase with a C++ compiler won't magically 
fix things -- well, it likely won't build without some patching, so in a sense 
it would avoid all issues… 😂

That's clearly quote misuse… but I laughed, so I give it a pass

Hopefully it won't find many more issues in the existing code, but could on new 
one. Though, it's like with all those imperfect tools, the user has to be able 
to tell whether a warning is meaningful or not, and how to handle it.
