Indeed it can. But that's not the point, nor was it ever the point--I
was responding to a post in which it was observed that C++ programmers
seemed to be bifurcating into two major categories, library designer
and library client. As this was a phenomenon I had observed on some
Ada projects, I felt it might be of value to expand on the experience
at one such project when they not only recognized the spread of talents
in the team, but specifically acted to partition things up to maximize
the use of such talents.

Context is an important thing.
