Like I said, I don't think it is something worth fighting over, because it's
not functional.  I would be a bit more pushy when it gets to using unique_ptr
to memory management with error handling, using std::vector instead of a home
grown vector implementation, using inheritance instead of an array of function
pointers to implement a vtable, etc.  Basically, anything for which C++ can
provide more safety.
