I think we're replying to each other at cross purposes at this point. I'm most fluent in C++ and prefer it as my language, and I personally agree with you.

What I was saying was that some practices that may be common in the Obj-C world (again I don't remember exactly what it was, but it wasn't something all that unusual) may conflict with C++ typing. So caveat emptor before switching all your .m's over to .mm.
