I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this, Andrew.

I'm not really interested in taking the time to explore details of all of
the implementation difficulties that C++ semantics offer.  I stand by
my answer above.  

I'd still be interested in seeing any suggestions for how we gauge the
pervasiveness of a language, so we can look back in a year, and tell if
C++ really is in decline.
