Any thing *new* steps out of line for someone. Putting C++ programs in .c file is out of line for most people, including the newcomers that people worry about. For many tools, including editors, .c is a C file, not a C++ file, so you don't get the benefit of working with a C++ program. > That might be pain for people who are used to do > 'grep foo gcc/*.c' and suchlike. > > Marek
