Although it was a bit rude to choose the destructive form
C++ instead of C+1. Many programmers are quite happy with
C as it is and don't want their language overwritten!

Also there's the rather confusing fact that the value of
the expression C++ is actually C. So when using C++ you
only get to take away the old language, and you have to
leave the new one behind in its place...
