C++ people have all kinds of anxieties about the compiler telling them
their problems. Test and see ;)
This could be a bit off topic:
I do C++ a lot too, but just like few people would use multi-inheritance, those are confusing
and error-prone features that are not ready for production and team use - they tend to be
using simplest or error-detectable features. I use templates, but really, even the code I
wrote myself, I need to take a while to think about how and why I did it that way.
From my understanding, printf is a de facto function that does simple thing but no simpler
while C#-style is a high-level formatter that gives you extra features that free you to focus
on things you care more.
