You're being serious, aren't you?
For one example, this is a part of a C++ program:
template< typename C >C T( void ( C::* )() );
. It defines a template T, that can be used in a
class as follows:
struct example { void f(); typedef decltype( T( &f )) S; };
. The type »S« now has a certain property, that can
be useful sometimes. What is this property (asking Bill)?
I'll reveal that I'm not Bjarne Stroustrup. decltype was introduced in
C++11, which I haven't explored, and I have never written any code that
resembles your template. But it appears that an object of type S may
behave like a function, which in this case would invoke Example.f(). As
has already been pointed out, one can write "obfuscating code" in any
language, with little effort. I strive to write code which is easily
understandable--and I document it. I don't wish to debate whether I
could make more of a mess in Python, or not.
