OK, I'll grant you that you were talking about the bodies of the functions 
also. My bad. :-)

Sure. But people are discussing .h files, where there's no such option in 
C++. In C, you could make the function static, but that's not the same thing 
for a C++ method.  Obviously you could write a tool that works almost as 
well for sufficiently well-organized C++ code as works for C#, but then 
you'd be complaining you might not have that tool elsewhere. :-)
