C++ has resisted, for two decades, the temptation of "improving" the
meaning of volatile :-) considering that it is C's baby.

[ the only area where there is a difference betwenn C and C++ is
  things like  x = y = z; but that wasn't desined specifically to 
  "improve" over C's semantics of volatile. ]
