But two, C++ invites pedantry. I heard endless discussions about "ooh, template meta-programming", "struct or class", "but is this idempotent", "you should be using move semantics", "why on earth is this a unique_ptr".

True, others would have taken place instead, but at a higher level nearer the design, where they should have been happening anyway.
