   The problem still exists, other languages just don’t attempt to solve   
   it. All the impacted users get to modify their code to work around the   
   damage instead.   
      
   The case of ‘export’ in C++ was particularly grating, since almost no   
   implementations ever supported the functionality, but some of them still   
   error when encountering the new keyword.
