With all due respect to Bjarne, I've seen a fair amount of blurriness too.
There's a good deal of C out there that's just being compiled by C++
compilers, either because those users don;t know, or would like to
hide, that they are not _really_ doing C++.  Some of this is, I'm sure, an
education problem, but not all.
