True. However, the one implementation that I played with a few years
ago was so slow that it wasn't useful. C++ has its pitfalls, but at
least it is every bit as fast as C code, given a reasonable compiler
(which g++ is, and cfront might or might not be, depending on your
system). I don't know if this has improved or not in recent years.
