Are there others in the team?

Without getting into the argument of whether they are useful, you are 
the first person that I know who uses them. :) I have been programming 
in C since 1988 and in C++ since 1997. I have read a lot of books 
(mostly on C++), frequented the C++ newsgroups for years and years, and 
did work at many C and C++ companies. I have never seen those keywords used.

I don't have a preference on the topic but it would still be incomplete, 
right? There are many other operators that don't have keywords. Perhaps 
that's why not many people use them.
