<div>Or “I’ve had to work with other people’s C++ code before, and I know what a PITA it is when there’s an issue you could easily solve by subclassing and overriding a few methods, but the library author, lacking ESP and knowledge of the future, didn’t anticipate that use case.” Surely I can’t be the only one that’s happened to.<br></div>

<div>But don’t get me wrong, this proposal can work all right just as long as we get rid of all human developers from all library and framework projects, and hire God to do them instead. I wonder how much he charges?<br></div>
