The two things I'd wish had happened in C or C++

1.   That when they fixed structs/unions to have proper assignment and
function argument and return behavior (i.e., making them full-fledged
types), that they would have done the same for arrays.   This inane "treat
it like a pointer" has always been problematic.

2.   That the default behavior in C++ is to *ALWAYS* initialize an object,
even if it is POD, no matter how it is allocated.
