No sweat. That is not the most serious of C++'s pitfalls.

In practice though, I use C#/Java for which the "language" owns assignment,
and no one else. Of course simple assignment does not copy fields, so explicit
clone/copy methods need to be used instead, which more clearly indicates
ownership/dispatching rules, etc.
