I don't agree. Before C++ came along it was the defacto standard. How can
you say they have bad style or are no good for examples? They invented the
language so who better to follow?

Ok, C++ came later and so follows different rules in lots of cases. But
seeing as it was based on C, I wondered why Straustrup chose a different
method to get a pointer into an array, since I assume that he was first to
do it in C++!
