I think it was 4.0 from memory.

I'm not arguing that you don't need to think about your code. The early behaviour was what I would have expected, the change was sensible but it's a long way from what you have to deal with in C++.

My experience with C++ was a lot of study and practice before I started my first project whereas with C# I was able to dive right in to a substantial piece of work and learn the language along the way.

Another example on how learning the language along the way gets to unexpected results, memory leaks in event handlers, or how HTTPClient doesn't really handle connection pool the way it should in the .NET Framework variant.
