Last I looked it was still alive and well; I just used it in a C++
program a few weeks ago.
That was the first time in many years -- on this topic I agree with
Dijkstra. But I don't believe he ever advocated not using it ever,
only that it should be avoided when there's a better answer, which is
in about 99% of the cases, but not 100%.
