Appropriate use of Sepples

I've read that C++ is designed in such a way that the user can pick the features that he wants and otherwise use C. For example, Allison might just want structures with constructors and avoid having to put struct _lol lol everywhere, while Bobby might only need templates and the STL.

I don't think that's the way that it should be. I think Bjarn should go the route of Java or anything by Microsoft and require absolutely every feature be necessary to do anything useful.

What does /prog/ think?

Who the fuck is Allison?
