Worth framing.

Of course nowadays the money shot in the wet dream is is only
_invoking_ 1 constructor with the knowledge that 1599 more would
happen invisibly in the background as a side-effect.

And that's coming from someone who lectured C++ at university level
back when CFront2 was cool, and CFront3 was hot.
