Good point. I will reread Robert's post on strategy and think 
about this for a while and write a more visible post when I have 
something that captures both Robert's concerns and concerns 
related to system level programming.

That said, I really wish you had talked more with C++ programmers 
who make use of modern C++ before writing the DIP. I am 
personally so used to adding ```[[nodiscard]]``` on all functions 
that it has become second nature. It is a very valuable feature 
in regards to refactoring I think, but also the most 
ill-conceived design in modern C++ (that I use). I might as well 
do a ```#define func [[nodiscard]]```.
