Well, either it means that the original authors valued stricter type
checking so much as to use C++ for only that purpose, and/or it means that
the code stems from a time when C++ wasn't really what it is now (e.g.
namespaces are a fairly recent addition) and people understood OOP as a
misspelt oops...

In any case, I don't see the angst factor in that quote, sorry.
