which arise in my code / coding style to gain the advantages present
in the nearly instantaneous edit-and-continue debugger environment.It is
xceedingly conducive to the way I code.
Generally speaking, the only C++ extensions I use are the remove of a
"struct" prefixes, single-line comments on everything, and the extra
casting requirements for for migrating pointers, such as casting

as these document purposeful intent in the code and are desirable.
