Retarded Idea Time

I worry sometimes. I've been coding my latest project in pure C, and to be honest, the only feature I miss is templates. There are some things that just plain need a growable array, for instance, and C fails at making this efficient and typesafe. I feel like if I keep the same code style and compile as C++ *just* for templates, I've started down a slippery slope that will eventually lead to overloaded operators, smart pointers, virtual bases, and all the nightmares that come with them.
