Actually, this is a case of selectively narrwing down to a part of
something said and taking exeception to a clause in the sentence
instead of the whole thing. I distinctly remember saying for a 'whole
host of reasons, not the least of which is name-mangling.' There are
many other reasons.

Thank you so much for pointing them out. This only further justifies
my statment that there is a logical rational for why our staff has
retreated from C++ back to C for many things. That was the whole original
point: that C is easier to deal with than C++...
