To go along with this, due to overloading and inheritance rules you cannot look at a small section of C++ code and determine what it does without reading up to the entire program.

I think that holds for any program written in any language. If the abstractions are confusing then it will be hard to read, be it layers of C macros, over-use of template programming or bad class hierarchy. BTW C++'s standard library is mostly functional (having roots in scheme), which makes it pretty easy to reason about.
