Everyone uses C++ in different ways for different purposes, leading to additional complexity to keep everyone happy. "sanity" might refer to default behaviors. If it does, there's not a lot you can do there either. You can't go changing fundamentals of how the language works, because backwards compatibility is paramount. There would be riots if a new standard broke significant chunks of legacy code - even for the better.
