Well, the fun thing about C++ is that nobody can tell you exactly 
what modern C++ is, but it is easy to point out old-style C++... 
Many patterns are outdated, but there are many different "modern" 
patterns as well...

The C++ community is split down the middle. Those that use C++ as 
designed (with exceptions), and those that use C++ as a C 
replacement (without exceptions).

I guess some modules have  been viewed as low level and thus have 
been designed to be usable by both groups.

You also have additions like std::optional that can be used if 
you turn off exceptions. I'm sure we see more in that direction 
if Rust becomes more popular...
