SS> void foo( int& HeyIMagicallyAlterYourVariableWithoutTellingYou )
Hey, look again! I tell you I alter your variable! I'm a reference!
SS>     /* 2. Declaring data in random places */
SS>     int HiIAmRandomlyDeclaredHere;
This feature alone makes it worth for a C  programmer  to  use  a  C++
compiler to compile his code.
If you always declare a variable where you initialize it, you'll never
forget to erase the declaration when you don't need the  variable  any
more. More, you won't read from an uninitialized variable.

Of course, you lose all advantages if you do it like this. Rather write:
int HiIAmRandomlyDeclaredHere = ButICannotFindWhereHereIs;
SS>     HiIAmRandomlyDeclaredHere = ButICannotFindWhereHereIs; // a=b
SS>                                        /* 3. Assembly comments */
//  comments are quite handy, because you can easily temporarily out a
sequence of code lines containing them using /* */.
SS>     /* 4. C-style casts are outlawed as of the latest draft proposal
SS>     long bar;
SS>      int baz = (long)bar;
That's new to me.
The standard just offers you new possibilities that are  far  superior
because  you can write now more explicitly what you are doing when you
cast and because the length of the new keywords makes you  think  once
more before casting.
