    •  Nul-Termination
    • Paradigms at War
    • Backwards Compatibility?
    • Operator Underload
    • C How Much Trouble You Got Us Into 
    • it'll also contain the definitions of the (currently 10) specific technical problems that will be addressed in the book:
      • Hello, World
      • Support Free Speech: Ban all the Dissonance!
      • The Chevron Shemozzle
      • The Erroneous Apprehension of Error, or What Did I Do Wrong?
      • The Logging Conundrum
      • How To Be Yourself
      • InCOMpatible Models
      • Taming The SYSTEM
      • Bulk Billing
      • Big and Wide and Tall
  • Part 3 - Abstraction
  • Part 4 - Conformance
  • Part 5 - Heterogeneity
  • Part 6 - Failure
  • Part 7 - Diagnostics
  • Part 8 - Resource Management
  • Part 9 - Performance Compromises
