template arrangements, etc, and I don't love the STL ... but any
sensible project adopting C++ carefully picks and chooses what features
it uses and how.
I think the big question is whether you can _control_ what C++ features
are used, or whether you are perpetually instructing users what C++
features not to use.
How is that different than us having to do the same with C?
