You're right, I did forget about the preprocessor.  Besides the usual
things in the header files, I always try to avoid macros.

There are about 20 directives, so that puts the keywords count for C++ to
101.  It's still fewer than D.  Does that mean D is more complex than C++?

Python with 33, I think most would agree that is has a very consice
grammer.
