Yes. It never works very well. If that's what you want, just use C++ and

You have a point. And I know that nothing I do or say
will stop others from using C++'s problematic features
or even its good features in bad ways.
But an analogy might be that C is like a car,
C++ is like a motorcycle. Accidents happen
more readily with motorcycles and with C++.
And although I'm a careful driver of all vehicles,
and a careful coder, chances are higher that,
if I say to an employer "I'm a C++ programmer"
they will stick me with someone else's C++ code
that is incomprehensible than if I say I'm
a C programmer.
