It is in no way established that any kind of "mess" exists.  All we have
is some people who appear to hate C++ expressing their opinions about
how they hate C++.  All the whining about how many more bytes the
compiled code is or many milliseconds something takes to compile don't
add up to any actual problem.

My opinion is that the original commit message was exactly correct:  The
code was rewritten to be cleaner and easier to understand and maintain.
We need more of the same.
