Right; instead, you have to deal with a dozen different library 
implementations of object construction, destruction and error handling;
such as GObject :)

Another example: POV-Ray 3.6 has virtual functions reinvented in C (to call 
"intersect with ray" on any Object* without knowing if it's a Sphere or an 
Isosurface). It's harder to figure out what's going on than if you just had 
a C++ class with virtual methods, because no other C program does it 
**exactly** the same way as POV 3.6.
