If you enjoy this, a few years ago I made the "C++ iceberg" meme (with clickable links!). I've been thinking about making an updated V2 with all the "you forgot about X" messages I've been getting.

Well, I do appreciate your work, and the information is certainly helpful.

But it's a bit like a urologist explaining what it will be like when you pass a kidney stone.

And then find out that the C++ standards committee is working on a new kidney-stone shape that's backwards compatible, but adds more jagged spikes.

God bless you for making this. I plan to incorporate several of these features at work in the hope of summoning Cthulu and killing the company once and for all.

What's your favorite "you forgot X"? You should definitely make an updated v2 because every link I've opened from the bottom half has been absolutely bonkers.

Three dimensional analog literals drawn using ASCII? What the flying hell was the standards committee thinking.

  else while
is perfectly fine, not only in c++.
