I want to agree, but C is even older than C++ and is definitely not in the same position. Ultimately, each language is different and the way they grow is different. C++ has just never been all that conservative about admitting new features. Their primary concern seems to have been the effect on the runtime performance of the binary, not whether the feature makes sense or mixes well with the existing features, or the effect on compilation time.
