Six divided by minus one is a "Division by zero" now? Where I come from that's minus six.

Good luck to WG14 (or maybe a faction within it?) as they seem to have decided to go make their own C++ competitor now, it's a weird time to do that, but everybody needs a hobby.

Yeah, I was about to add the test for INT_MIN / -1 but got distracted, but also not really the point of the example anyway.

I hope you realize that this is example does not need any complex C++ features.

I mean, sure. I read the "noplate" code. Did you ever watch the Mrs Merton show? "So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?". There's a reason you felt the need to insist that your C language generic containers aren't relying on "complex C++ features" whatever you might decide that means.

The issue with C++ is that it is a hyper-complex language that really is a combination of four languages: C with classes, template code, macros, and constexpr code with largely overlapping functionality. It seems to be getting better in amalgamating these different parts, but it is still a mess that annoys me all the time when I try to use it. This complexity is what drove me away. Still there is a unmet need for generic programming in C and I can now do this with macros very well means I can have it without missing this part from C++. So the idea is not to reinvent C++ but to make minor tweaks to C to be able to do similar things in a much simpler way.
