Please let's not bring all the design warts of C++ into C (instead only port the actually good ideas over, after they've been proven to be actually good ideas).

Please let's not bring all the design warts of C++ into C (instead only port the actually good ideas over, after they've been proven to be actually good ideas). It would make more sense if C++ would reverse direction and become a superset of C (like ObjC choose to do from the start), but for C++ it's much too late now.
