That item being several orders of magnitude above all the others is an interesting context, for sure. Regarding the "being set", it would be helpful to have a date on that item in particular. The Forbes "30 under 30" is

I gave it a shot on some real code, and (more or less as expected, but I was ready to be surprised) the custom parsing code does not handle templates and overloads well at all. Example 1: template<class T> void foo(T t) {}
