Naturally, C++ must now be called C, and our familiar C is now old C.
The use of the term C++ has caused the problem, since it has a side
effect of modifying the referent of the term C.  If only the authors
of the system had used the name C+1, we could have avoided this
unnecessary and confusing side effect.  Be warned!
