Backward compatibility with C is nice but on the other hand it is 
a road to nowhere!
Because of this compatibility, I'm compelled to write return 
instead of ret and else if instead of elif :)
I think to create a truly correct C++, it was necessary to 
completely abandon the backward compatibility with C.
