There's no such thing as an "unopinionated" kitchen sink language. Language features have all sorts of unforeseen interactions that must be handled somehow, and good high-level design is needed to ensure that the interactions are sensible.

C++ is definitely unopinionated. Its evolution follows the path dictated by necessity, not opinion.

The "necessity" is defined by the three foundational opinions of c++ :

- zero cost abstraction

- system language

- compatibility with C toolchain

We're in the context of such unforeseen interaction.(Ironic, isn't it)
