    When the web was only html, 30 years ago, things worked smooth. Now
    the internet is a bedlam with all those "active content" websites,
    they are vectors for cruel cyberattacks.

    Alternatively, put the parameter info into a Collection, perhaps a

    All very good advice. But instead of using the evil data structure
    HashMap you might find the named parameter indiom useful: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ctors.html#faq-10.18

    Ada is absolutely better as normal.

    You are replying to an article from 2003.

    The universal Usenet convention is to mark quoted text with "> " on
    each line, not to surround it with quotation marks. Your newsreader
    should do this automatically. It makes it easier for others to read
    your posts.
