It is most certainly not true about C++.

Touche'; I should have grouped my sentences differently. C++ is not a small, easy-to-learn language.

I'm reminded of Duff's Device http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff%27s_device

  send(to, from, count)
  register short *to, *from;
  register count;
  {
    register n = (count + 7) / 8;
    switch (count % 8) {
    case 0: do { *to = *from++;
    case 7:      *to = *from++;
    case 6:      *to = *from++;
    case 5:      *to = *from++;
    case 4:      *to = *from++;
    case 3:      *to = *from++;
    case 2:      *to = *from++;
    case 1:      *to = *from++;
               } while (--n > 0);
    }
  }
