And although I'm [...] 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.

And if you say you're a "C with some extra bits added that don't quite add
up to C++" programmer, they are likely to conclude that you can't hack C
without the extra bits, and can't hack C++ with the non-extra bits.

In other words, if you specialise in what we might call C++-- (erroneous
construct notwithstanding), you are likely to find that your job choice is
more restricted than if you specialise in either C or C++.
