On the other hand Google has hired many good programmers, and probably some of them have strong C++ experience, so if you are interested in C++/D this style guide deserves to be read.

Some of such imposed limits make me a little nervous, so I'd like to remove/relax some of those limits, but I am ignorant regarding C++, while the people that have written this document are expert, so their judgement has weight.

	I actually use the inverse convention: "out" arguments come first. 
This way, it is easy to see that "a = b" and "assign (a, b)" modify 
"a" and not "b".
