Basically on a rare occasion somebody (JF Bastien) was able to land a C++ proposal which warns you if you'd do something stupid, and inevitably C programmers cosplaying as C++ programmers insisted "it's not stupid it's advanced" and so now C++ must not even warn you this is a bad idea.

It still is a bad idea, but being warned would make them feel bad.
