>Many of the C++ gigs I've had were at places which only used fractions of the language. I don't think any project or person uses or even knows the entire language. I think even Bjarne himself said that no human can possibly know all of C++. Seriously, in every C++ project I've seen, it seems like whoever's in charge picks some subset of the language to confine themselves to, and uses that. One of C++'s strengths is that you can do this; it's adaptable to your project and style.
