Have you ever realised?

   `C != C++` => false <#> true

Contradiction! => name is wrong!

   `C != ++C` => true <=> true

The name is still wrong, because that would be a good name
for Objective-C, whereas "C++" should be called

{[C * (0.95 + operator)]^templates * class + friends}/
subset-discipline

Or, as I usually shorten it: _assembler with classes_ ...

Funny! When I looked at the PEP for additional info on the EEP,
I got a feeling that Python had begun to die. With its current use
in "data" stuff, it might first aquire a broken half of R ...

Here's some for Python and Elixir, Java, assembler with classes, ...

;=   winking walrus
?:=  confused walrus
:,=  weeping walrus
X=   extinct walrus

Hey, that's even a little story ... (never mistake the wrapping for the present :-)
