While browsing around Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, I somehow found
myself on page labeled "Pure C++", but containing code which I find
hard to interpret. Is this code really part of C++ now, or is it not?
The title of the column implies that it is, and I remember having a
(heated) discussion with some of you about whether CLI/CLR would be
incorporated, and it seemed that Microsoft would eventually get its
way. Have they, and is this really "pure C++"?

Code from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/12/PureC/default.aspx

for each( String ^s in Enum::GetNames(
status::typeid ))
Console::WriteLine( s );

void DisplayType( Object^ o )
{
if ( !o ) return;

Type^ t = o->GetType();
Console::WriteLine( "Type is {0} : {1}",
t->Name, t->FullName );
}

Type^ ts = String::typeid;
Type^ ti = Int32::typeid;

array<Type^>^ types = a1->GetTypes();
Type^ query = a1->GetType( "Query" );

It is annoying, but I know many developers that still refer to C++ as
"C". It isn't so surprising that a few refer to "C++/CLI" as "C++".
(After all "C++/CLI" is a bit of a mouthful.)
