To be fair, C++ effectively has multiple pointer types too with 
raw pointers, unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr. However, each 
of the extra ones has a unique purpose and are opt-in. As a 
result, people happily use them when it makes their lives easier.

By contrast, C++/CLI (I'm more familiar with that than managed 
C++) has pointer to managed heap and pointer to unmanaged heap. 
The concepts overlap more.
