I'm sure the reverse happens too. Yes! I've noticed this also. Several recent C++ changes are copying idioms from other languages, and sometimes the standards committee seems to have missed the point or misunderstood how the features are used in the language they're copying. The results are superficially similar, but not quite what I'd expect after knowing the feature from the source language.
