Microsoft has such great ideas when it comes to languages.
What's there not to like with C++/CLI? You can have macros expanding to
templates from which generics are generated, and then have classes generated
from the generics. And these classes can have a close function and two
destructors, and hold references to unmanaged pointers to managed pointers!
With C++, you only have duplicate features, but with C++/CLI, you can finally
have triplicate ones! You see, this is a language for an *expert*. Experts love
having 3 different ways to do things, each broken in it's own way.
