"I think my most obvious mistake was not to introduce templates before multiple inheritance and not to ship a larger library with Release 1 of my C++ compiler."
"I, and the standards committee, underestimated the importance of templated typedefs. My guess is that they will be added in the future."
"I guess that in this case, my reluctance to add new features without a clear practical need caused problems."
"I underestimated the linker problems. I may also have underestimated the problems stemming from C compatibility."
Great idea! I've actually thought about something similar on several occasions (well, minus the secret handshakes and stuff). Question is, what types of connections could be utilized that would be impenetrable by government snoops? Certainly the existing telephone lines and high-bandwidth data networks wouldn't be an option.
