The case I found astounding in C++ was in the initializer list where the
line

     value:value

would assume that the first one was  this->value, and the second was a
local named value (usually an argument to the constructor).



That was rather sloppy. Since this is only used in a constructor, and it appears before the body of the function/method, the second one must be an argument, or else something non-local.

Anyway, the construct is a bit of a surprise the first time you see it.
