 :P

if you're not a c++ pro you might not get that this is an april fools day joke.

Eóin:
Yeah it starts off very convincingly. I'd been told it was an April Fools before reading it, I wonder how long I would have been fooled for otherwise :-[

P.S. my smilie at the end holds the url to Bjarne's webpage which acknowledges the joke.
